GKrellMMS FAQ:
--------------

This file answers some commonly asked questions.
If you've got a problem installing gkrellmms, please first read this file
before mailing me.

Please, before mailing me, check your versions of GKrellM and XMMS.
I have built this version of GKrellMMS with these versions:

GKrellM: 1.0.4
XMMS: 1.2.4

You can check your own versions by calling 'gkrellm --version' and 'xmms
--version' in a shell.

-----

Q: When I open GKrellMMS, it freezes for about half a minute, and then
   continues fine.

A: You'll probably have set that GKrellMMS should load the entire
   playlist-info while loading a new playlist.
   You can unset this by doing these things:
   In the gkrellmms-config-window, in the Switches-tab, set the 'Load
   file-info:' to 'On File play only'.
   After that, go to the XMMS Preferences-window, to the Options-tab. Unset
   both toggles from the 'Read info on'.

-----

Q: GKrellMMS segfaults when I try to open an mp3-file from it.

A: The eject-button in GKrellMMS can be set to open a playlist or other
   files. It defaults to open a playlist. If you try to open an mp3 while
   trying to open a playlist, it segfaults (oops). You can change this action
   in the GKrellMMS-config window, in the Switches-tab. Set 'Eject-button
   opens:' to 'File(s)' instead of 'Playlist', and it works.

-----

Q: When I run make, I get this message (or something familiar):

   In file included from gkrellmms.c:21:
   gkrellmms.h:21: gkrellm/gkrellm.h: No such file or directory

A: You'll have to install the newest gkrellm, and have installed the
   gkrellm-header files to your includes-dir (normally /usr/include or
   /usr/local/include)
   You can get gkrellm at: http://gkrellm.net

-----

Q: When I run make, I get this message (or something familiar):

   /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lxmms

A: You'll probably have installed xmms from a package; you'll also have to
   install the xmms-devel package.

-----

Q: When I run make, I get this message (or something familiar):

   gkrellmms.h:22: xmms/xmmsctrl.h: No such file or directory

A: You'll have to install the xmms-devel package as well as the standard
   xmms-package.

-----

Q: gkrellmms doesn't start, and in gkrellm's plugin-log shows up:

   Error: /usr/lib/libxmms.so.1: undefined symbol: XF86VidModeSetViewPort

A: This isn't a bug from gkrellmms, but from the xmms/X packages (I guess).
   You can try to fix this by uninstalling xmms-devel, removing
   /usr/lib/libxmms.*, and re-installing xmms-devel. I don't know if this
   solution works for everybody; I didn't get this error myself, but I
   know some people with which it worked.

-----

Q: I've got a segfault somewhere.

A: Mail it to me!
   Please include some info about the bug (when you got it, what versions of
   gkrellm, xmms and gkrellmms you use, etc...) when mailing me.
