And so the attempt to pervert XFCE into Gnome 2 will begin... ;-p For some, they used Gnome over others, because of the Gnome applications. If you change desktops, and carry on using the same software, you'll still have all the baggage of Gnome dragged along. And, depending on how Gnome 3 gets developed, maybe Gnome applications on another deskop will still be as annoying as Gnome 3. For others, they chose Gnome over others, because of other behaviours of Gnome (e.g. reasonable automatic handling of mounting temporary media). When I explored other desktops, quite some time ago, that sucked. I want to plug a flash drive in, and have it just work. Not have to manually mount it, one way or another. That sort of thing, (various) desired desktop behaviours, can make it quite hard to find alternatives. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
