The following page has been changed by RahulSundaram: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Beats/Desktop?action=diff&rev2=86&rev1=85 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This section details changes that affect Fedora graphical desktop users. - === Localized Common User Directories (xdg-user-dirs) === + === Graphical Root Login Disabled === - This release of Fedora now includes the new common user directory structure, [http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software_2fxdg_2duser_2ddirs `xdg-user-dirs`]. Features of these new user directories include: + Graphical root login via GNOME Display Manager has been disabled in this release. As a standard best practice for security, it is always better to run individual programs with root privileges rather than login under root directly. With the introduction of [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeaturePolicyKit Policy Kit] and graduation migration of administration tools to using policy kit, running a complete graphical environment as a root user is even more strongly discouraged. + FIXME: Has KDM root login been disabled? How about other display managers? - * Directory names can be localized (translated) - * Includes a set of common directories by default, such as for documents, music, pictures, and downloads. - * Appear as common bookmarks in the file browser, and are picked up by many applications as app-specific defaults. For example, a music player would start the file opening dialog in the default music directory. - * Configurable by users, who can move or rename the directories via the '''Nautilus''' file manager, or by editing `~/.config/user-dirs.dirs` - - If you do not want default folders to be created, remove the `xdg-user-dirs-gtk` package and associated dependencies. === GNOME === @@ -40, +35 @@ ==== Enabling Flash Plugin ==== - Fedora includes an experimental open source implementation of Flash called `gnash`.
