Lucas,

Free software doesn't get better unless all of us pitch in and help
out to the best of our abilities.  If there are interoperability
problems between GNOME (or KDE) and the Linux distribution that you're
using, the community would be well served by you (or someone) tracking
down the problem and fixing it (or at least documenting it) so that
someone else doesn't run into the same problem in the future.

If you don't feel that you're capable of tracking this problem down,
then at least submit a bug report with the relevant information to the
distribution maintainer and to the GNOME or KDE maintainers as well.

(If you do decide to track this problem down, reread the advice that
Rusty gave you yesterday.  I think it's right on target...)
