Hey,

I was having a similar problem (OpenSuse 11.3 w GNOME 3.2). Just ignore the warnings, they probably dont matter! Its the errors you should focus on.

Just a wild guess, but I think you need to install python. (programs ending with a .py extension are python apps!).

Regards
Aubrey.

If he didnt have python installed he’d have much larger issues. I’m currently trouble shooting this issue as well, although it’s under 11.4. My guess is during the installation file links got screwed up. I had a similar problem with yast2.

If I figure it out I’ll let you know.
