re: item 1 -- What types of image files are causing tumblerd to segfault? On my end, it seems to be working with .jpg files but not .png's, though it doesn't seem to be segfaulting. I did try a newer development version of tumbler before pushing RC2 but it had issues and I reverted back to the earlier version -- perhaps something got compiled against a wrong version somewhere (and I will look into the .png support, perhaps I need to add the full libpng package at compile time so the headers are found and support is compiled in).
re: item 4 -- it looks to me like lcms lcms2 can exist side-by-side (just like gtk-2/gtk-3) so you should be able to simply add lcms2 and Evince (along with any other dependencies) to get it working. I didn't know that Evince no longer depends on gnome -- I'll look into it for version 2.1 but I'm afraid it's too late to change packages around for 2.0 final. Thank you for the suggestion!
@zer0-G:
I've not had this experience (phantom floppy drives showing up) -- are you able to test on other computers to see if it happens there? Also, on the computer where this does happen, please give me the output of 'lspci' and also try to click on that to mount it and let me know what error messages show up, if any. I'm wondering if maybe it is some kind of a memory card reader or other device that is interpreted as a floppy drive (or associated with that icon anyway) somewhere. Thanks!
