Perhaps, but I'm not certain that statistics would back that up. I, too, have reported many things and have only rarely seen reported issues acknowledged, let alone resolved. Lately, I've taken the wait-and-see approach, with approximately the same results. I guess that I'm not an optimist. As an aside, I'm thinking of bug 531088, which I initially thought would be relatively easy to deal with. To be fair, it seems that many smart and talented individuals have tried to tackle this, but a year and a half on and problems persist in the mail notification applet. I never imagined it could be so complicated. About a year ago, I stopped paying attention to it and consigned myself to just not using the applet. At the time, I figured it would be easier to rewrite the applet completely from scratch than to continue to endure the machinations that were apparently necessary to fix it. And maybe I was right -- with GNOME3 there will probably come a completely revamped mail notification applet that will probably not suffer the problems of the current applet. So I'm hopeful that I will once again be able to be informed of incoming mail, just as soon as I can swallow the pill of GNOME3. -Alan -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
