Bonjour, FC6 new install.... After fighting to configure the system, I have to fight with user accounts: some people at Fedora do not care about the waste of time and put things they believe useful by default. I use to install new releases without changing the home partition for (I think) clear reasons to everybody. Now, user's complains come: they do not find their pervious config they build to work and no help is available.... 1- When openning a session: two windows open automatically: one is named "sessions" and display some information we don't understand; no help available to understand them and to avoid this window to come up.... The second window is the nautilus file manager: I don't want this window (my file manager is only a terminal!) no help to know how to get rid of this. 2- When using two screens, the previous configuration (fc4) displayed gnome panel only on the main screen, now to more panels come up on the secondary screen: why? You can suppress them only for the current session and they come back the next time you login. How to suppress them permanently? No help available. 3- Why my thunderbird configuration has been changed? I have to suppress again some services that I did not want previously.... 4- Where are the CD/DVD that I insert in the DVD-drives? I can only see them if I put in my preferences "open automatically the files when media is inserted" (something like that, I translate from French): I don't want this, I want to access them through a terminal! No icon is displayed on the desktop to remind you that there is a CD in a drive..... Same if I plug a usb hard-drive, but this one is accessible through /media folder. Why does developpers spread the idea that M$ is THE RIGHT NORM for computers.
