It has always been the case that I can open gnome-maps fine from a terminal. Also, if I run Alt-F2 gnome-maps, this also works. However, if I press Meta key (Windows key) and type map, the, the Maps application is selectable, but if I select it, gnome-maps does not open: I can see evidence that it is trying to open due to a spinning title bar on the top left, but it does not open in the end. Likewise, if I try to open a KML file in Maps through the Icecat or Nautalis interfaces, gnome-maps does not open, but no error is reported by the system (silent fail). So to open KML files available on the Internet, I must first save the KML file somewhere, open gnome-maps from the command line or ALT-F2, and then open the KML file from gnome-maps file dialog, which is a slower workflow. I understand that a .34 gnome update is forthcoming, but was not sure how soon that will be, and whether or not it will fix this problem. -- Christopher Howard Enterprise Solutions Manager Alaska Satellite Internet PO Box 70, Ester, AK 99725 3239 La Ree Way, Fairbanks, AK 99709 907.451.0088 1.888.396.5623 www.alaskasatelliteinternet.com --=-Sqe+xMFi8IxxzEpEQ/rp Content-Type: text/html; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
