[SOLVED] Gnome and Arrows or Plus Signs?

I have two machines -- oe at work and one at home. Both run Arch64, are updated with the latest released software (not using [testing]), both are using the same theme and icons and such -- Elemntary for the controls and window borders, Alpha1 for the icons.
Here is my issue, though. At work, my tree views have a little black "arrow" next to them to drop down nodes. At home I have a "plus" sign instead. I can't figure out what is making the difference! I would prefer the arrows on BOTH, but I'd at least like to know why they are different! Here is a screenshot of the work machine (preferred result): http://www.dadburn.com/linuxscreenshots/arrows.png. I'll try to post one from home when I get there this evening.
Thanks in advance for any help.

OK, I finally dug into this and solved it. It seems that there was either an old theme or remnants of some theme in my ~/.themes folder and/or ~/.icons folder that was perplexing the system. I removed all of the junk in there and the arrows came back.
Posting this just in case anyone else has a similar problem in the future. (Or in case I have it again and need to search for an answer!)

[SOLVED] Gnome and gdm is not themed after reinstall

Hi all.
I messed up my Arch install yesterday, so today I reinstalled my system. I normally use Gnome, so I installed everything I normally install. (only things not installed from group gnome is epiphany and gnome-termial, as I use lxterminal instead)
But as I reboot into GDM I find myself surprised: normally GDM will display the green leaf background on me, and after I log in this will be the desktop background. However, this is not the case now. GDM presents a plain black background, and what's more, when I try to change the background in gnome-appearance-preferences, the background image does not change! The only changes I get are the background colors belonging to each background. What has happened since the last time I installed??
Thank you for any help
EDIT: Seems a missing HAL was the problem. Even though GDM no longer depends on HAL, installing HAL and adding it to DAEMONS in rc.conf solved everything for me.

Problem solved. I took gdm out of rc.conf, and uncommented it in in /etc/inittab. Then reinstalled glib2. After that it worked like a charm. Some warning message about wicd not starting D-Bus something, but I can deal with that later. Now typing in Chromium instead of elinks. Mission accomplished. Thanks community!

I cannot add events to my calender, no plus sign

I have done all the updates and still no plus sign to add events. What am I doing wrong?

To add events into calendar you have to have an account with iCloud and have calendar enabled on iCloud. To do this you have to enable the calendar, go to settings on your iPhone then tap on iCloud, if you don't have an account with iCloud then make one or if not signed in, sign into iCloud, after that toggle the calendar on. You're set, you can now add events into calendar.
Reply if this works.

Firefox is not allowing me to add new tabs. I'm pushing the plus sign next to my tab, and it is no longer adding new tabs. How do I fix this problem?

When I open Firefox, I automatically have one tab. The plus sign button to add more tabs is next to the one tab, but it no longer adds tabs when I click on it. When I click on it, it doesn't do anything. How can I fix this problem so I can have multiple tabs? I downloaded the most current version of Firefox, and I'm still having the same problem. I've had this problem for a little over a week now.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

I am unable to create a new event on my iPhone with IOS 7.0.4. I tap the plus sign, fill in the details, tape Done and ... nothing. Repeatedly. No problem on my iMac or iPad, just with the phone. Help.

Assuming you're creating this event to place in your calendar, and assuming this calendar is shared with your iMac and iPad using iCloud, might the calendar be restricted on your iPhone?

The screen no longer displays a playlist column and when I hit the plus sign the screen no longer has a right side column to let me make a new playlist. Now what?

The screen which comes up no longer displays a playlist column and when I hit the plus sign and choose new playlist the screen doesn't display the narrow right side column for a new playlist. Does this have something to do with the new iTunes version I installed?

Assuming you have iPhoto 9 (11) give this a try: make a temporary, backup copy of the library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - Since only one option can be run at a time start with #3 followed by #4 and #1 as needed.
3 - try adding a page after each fix.

Trying to type on a path (CS5) and get small circle with plus sign???

I am trying for the first time to type on a path that I have made. I go to the type tool, type one letter which never appears...but the small circle with a plus sign inside it appears right at that spot on the path. Would love to know what is happening...and how I resolve it. Have googled and searched my books to no avail!

I had been doing what you suggested...but in going back this morning to try it again, I discovered that the box for centered text was selected from an earlier project...and obviously that doesn't work on a path!
Thank you.

Cursor has changed to a plus sign and doesn't work properly

I recently plugged my Late 2012 MBP 13" into an Epson projector (using an Apple serial port converter) and my cursor changed from the normal shape to a '+' sign. Also, there is occasionally some horizontal lines on the screen about 1" (2cm) away from the plus sign. I wouldn't mind the shape except it's now very inaccurate and difficult to use. Does anyone know how to fix this type of issue? Appreciate any help you can offer.

Cleared everything, several time over several days, no change.
Still have not diagnosed the problem and I have made a lot of changes, including re-loading M.FireFox 4.0.1 with ATT Yahoo vers. 1.8
It sometimes appears that the sign-in times out, although I tried signing in for 2 weeks and also 1 day. ATT Yahoo has a sign-in seal one can setup and use. It is fine and works only that one day or until one signs out, than it is history.

Before 4.0 I could right click on an open tab and start a new tab. Now the option to do so is no longer on the right click menu, and I have to click the plus sign.

Before 4.0 I could right click on an open tab and start a new tab. Now the option to do so is no longer on the right click menu, and I have to click the plus sign if I want to open a new tab. It is kind of bugging the hell out of me. Is there a way to fix it other than uninstalling and reinstalling the old firefox? Because this is a big part of the way I browse.

You can also use ctrl-T or File > New tab (if you have the menubar showing). I can't find an extension that will help you bring back the previous behavior but there probably will be one soon.

Confused about polkit-gnome and lxpolkit [solved]

I recently updated and new version of goffice and gnumeric came down with this warning:
==> The agent is no longer autostarted by default except in GNOME Flashback.
For Xfce, LXDE etc., "lxpolkit" is the suggested lightweight alternative.
See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Polkit#Authentication_agents for
more details.
I use xfce4 and do not know gnome-polkit installed at all. I removed it and pacman did not complain about dependencies. What exactly do I need lxpolkit for? I am able to use sudo without it.

I'am confused too:
Using lxde I was not even aware that there is an alternative to polkit-gnome, as it is always
mentioned as quasi dependend on gvfs:
The gvfs package needs to be installed, along with polkit-gnome for the polkit rules.
This seems to be wrong as neither gvfs nor the polkit rules do depend on polkit-gnome authentication-agent in any way.
Informations through the wiki(s) are very inconsistent!
From LXDE-Page:
polkit-gnome provides an authentication and will need to be started on login:
$ mkdir -p ~/.config/autostart
$ cp /etc/xdg/autostart/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1.desktop ~/.config/autostart
What is it good for? Is there any reason to start it twice? The file mentioned is installed at '/usr/share/applications/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1.desktop' by default.
Polkit-Page:
To autostart it everywhere except in GNOME and KDE, copy the file /usr/share/applications/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1.desktop to /etc/xdg/autostart/
LXDE-Wiki:
gvfs and its dependencies (optional, but highly recommended):
policykit-gnome (required for authentication for volume management)
And last but not least the awareness that the LX alternative exists since March 28th, 2010 where PCMan himself told us polkit-gnome is not needed anymore:
LXPOLKIT – SIMPLE POLICYKIT AUTHENTICATION AGENT:
Generally when one needs to use policykit, he or she needs to install policykit-gnome. Now we have our own.
A new component LXPolkit was added. It’s minimal policykit authentication agent.
As far as I get it, polkit-gnome only provides the 'query of password window' and can be replaced by lxpolkit which is more lightweight.
And as it was never 'auto'started (see above) except in GNOME, the pacman.log message is IMHO highly questionable and confusing.

Minus and Plus Sign Error Message

I've starting getting a message on the screen that has two minus signs, a slash, then two plus signs. -- / ++ Any ideas?
Thanks.

It sounds like you're describing the shuffle symbol.
