I’m using the new open suse 11.1 release on my workstation and i’m very
happy with this distribution.
Because one thing makes me unhappy when my system starts. This window
comes everytime when i start open suse. When i click ok, 1 or 2 minutes
later it comes again.
What are the “slab”? i search in the internet and in my linux books but
i can’t find anything about this.
Can someone help me?
Best regards
bill turn
This is the text from the warning:
Beim Laden oder Speichern der Konfiguration von slab ist ein Fehler
aufgetreten. Einige Ihrer Konfigurationseinstellungen könnten nicht
richtig funktionieren.
Der Schlüssel- oder Verzeichnisname ist fehlerhaft:
»/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/«: Schlüssel und Verzeichnisse dürfen nicht
auf einen Schrägstrich (/) enden
It seems like there is a “/” on the end of a path key somewhere, maybe
run gnomeconfig (Gnome Configuration Editor) and look for that keyname
and remove the trailing /.

Hello & welcome to the forums!
Glad to hear you are enjoying openSUSE!
The error you are getting is probably related to the VMWare Server 2.0
plugin… have you installed this by any chance?
you can clear the error by reseting your recently used data by opening
a terminal console:
Code:
echo . > ~/.recently-used.xbel
This will only empty your history listing of last opened applications
and documents - (no data will be cleared). Not to bad, but just so you
know what it does.
Also have a look at this thread : ‘Slab popups all the time - openSUSE
Forums’ (http://tinyurl.com/7fh49s)
There have been several workarounds for this posted on:
‘Slab popups all the time - Page 3 - openSUSE Forums’
(http://tinyurl.com/7zxg8v)
I hope some of those work
On the other side this has an open bug report in Novell’s Bugzilla, the
problem could be with VMware, but we’ll have to wait until something
final is told and the report is closed.
the slab problem comes back and pop up everytime i click on a
application. I tried the other workarounds which was discussed in the
openSUSE forum, but nothing works.

I tried this at first alone but it came back after a couple of
minutes.
Delete the file and make a directory with the same name:
Then I tried this alone and the history in slab panel is no longer
kept. I didn’t like it.
I faced another problem and I had to restart the panel using
Code:
killall gnome-panel
then i deleted the folder
Code:
rm -r ~/.recently-used.xbel
and now it works real great.
The problem came to me after I did a fresh installation for the root
partition only. it did not come for me from VMware server because I
don’t use it.
hope it works for some one else.
