OpenBSD 5.5 snapshot/Gnome 3.10.2 config issues

[JWJones]

This morning I did a fresh install of 5.5 snapshot, with Gnome 3.10.2, and I have a couple of issues I can't resolve:

1) suspend/resume when closing/opening lid: even though I have uncommented machdep.lidsuspend=1 in /etc/sysctl.conf, this isn't working.

2) How do you change the settings in gnome weather? I want my settings in Fahrenheit rather than Celsius.

3) Bunched up icons: see screenshot - icons are screwed up, I have to go into "Display" settings, change to a different screen resolution, and then change back to native 1280x800 to get them to display properly.

4) Edge scrolling and horizontal scrolling: in the touchpad settings, I have a setting for two-finger scrolling, but nothing for edge scrolling or horizontal scrolling. This is a simple matter in Xfce, but not Gnome? WTF?

Oh yes, still on my ThinkPad T61.

Here's a really quick and dirty hack to get Fahrenheit weather. You will need to apply this diff to /usr/ports/x11/gnome/libgweather and rebuild libgweather.
# cd /usr/ports/x11/gnome/libgweather && patch -E </path/to/libgweather-fahrenheit.diff && make install-all

No warrantee, on your own if it breaks, don't complain to ports@ about it, etc.

This stems from Gnome3 thinking that the United States is a metric country, when it is in reality an Imperial country. This may need more investigation.

EDIT: I also found a top bar weather extension: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/613/weather/
All you have to do is click the slider on that page to "ON" and restart gnome-shell. It's very configurable and looks much nicer, IMO.

Horizontal scrolling is automatic when two-finger scrolling is enabled. My touchpad doesn't have an edge scroller so I can't comment on that. I'm on a ThinkPad EDGE E420 here.

Thanks, Brian, I'll check out that top bar weather extension, looks nice, indeed. And I did discover the ability to horizontal scroll using two finger scrolling, works just fine.

This Arch Linux wiki may be helpful. I do not run Gome3 but it does speak of using gconf-editor.

You should also be able to set touchpad options on the fly with synclient. If Gnome3 allows this to work, it should be a quick easy way to test the options.

synclient TapButton1=1

synclient VertEdgeScroll=1

synclient HorizEdgeScroll=1

.

Thanks, shep, I will try this. Found another issue, too:

5) Attempting to log out of user account results in crash.

I'm getting the sinking feeling that something has been misinstalled on your machine.

I don't know what that could possibly be, this is a clean installation of 5.5-snapshot plus Gnome 3.10.2. I have seen the bunched up icon issue with Arch+Gnome 3.10.2 as well, so I suspect most of this is Gnome related, as my 5.5-snapshot with Xfce works perfectly. I did get edge/horizontal scrolling working just fine, however. Still no suspend/resume.

You never mentioned if suspend/resume worked without Gnome.

It works on my 5.5 w/Xfce.
