I actually don't know why it worked one month ago and suddenly stopped... maybe some update for Leopard. I'm eager to try new features, thanks. Inkscape restarted working for me at last.

I get an exclamation mark on the Google notifier icon and get the message "Can't Sign In. See Preferences". When I mouse over the icon it says "Failed to fetch mail. Can't Sign In. See Preferences" I tried logging on the google in Safari. Then quitting Safari, firefox and notifier. When I restart notifier I get the same icon......... I have the latest version of Notifier 1.9.97 This has only started to happen recently....maybe since I installed the new version of Safari.... I am having a similar problem.

Hold down the power button for several seconds or press the restart button I tried this a 100 times but it wasn't helpful, Now I don't have any idea how this problem can be solved, despite the fact that I live in a country where most of the people don't even know anything about Mac computers, Not even a authorized apple store so I can try and solve my problem, what a shame a new computer and already kindda broke up? Well I hope not, any one with any clue please email me I will be glad to hear something at least a good news, I also have power problems with my brand new powerbook G4 since two days I keep getting a message like You need to restart your computer.

** (inkscape-bin:581): WARNING **: Unknown verb name: FullScreen
Unable to find: FullScreen

starting from dock doesn’t work - the inkscape icon disappears after a second or so. this is the whole error message, and my x11 is the one from the tiger cd that i got along with the macbook.

though it should be mentioned that the error appears after the last x11 update sometime end of may/beginning Jun and before the update inkscape worked fine.

maybe there is something that can be done to prevent this behavior?
thanks in advance,

I don't like this, as I wouldn't want anyone to open my inbox if I am away from my desk. At home, on my pc, when I click "Go to Inbox" from my gmail notifier, it takes me to the signin page where i enter my information, then gain access to the inbox.. How do I configure my mac at work to operate this way, so that I have to sign in to gmail to check the inbox every time. Is that possible? thanks Denise Hi, I am having a similar problem….I am using a Mac, and Firefox as my default browser, When a notification pops up telling me I have a new email, and I say “Go to Inbox”, it automatically opens my inbox without asking for a password.
