When I wrote GTK+ I meant GTKMM instead, ie the C++ libraries for GTK. Sorry for the confusion. Well the bits I installed into a new boot environment didn't explode at all, but it isn't clear if things are working properly. VMware Fusion 3 thinks that the tools aren't installed. I ran 'pfexec vmtoolsd' in the background, and then vmware-user once I'd logged into GNOME. They seemed happy to run and stay running. I copied some text from the OpenSolaris guest and pasted it into the Mac host. That certainly didn't work before! I couldn't get copy/paste working in the other direction, but X11 has a pretty weird concept of copy/paste so that could be down to user error. vmware-checkvm outputs "VMware software version 6 (good)". Is there any interest in my patches? Cheers, Chris |
