Right now, I'm running XFCE 4.6 on my desktop, but I've used a third-party repo to upgrade my laptop to 4.8. (I'm always a tad more careful with my main box; among other things, when it's time to upgrade Fedora, the laptop always goes first.) The first time I logged in after the upgrade, XFCE asked if I wanted the default desktop or if I preferred copying over my old settings. Naturally, I picked the latter because I'd already gotten things the way I wanted them and saw no reason to repeat the experience. I think it would be a Good Thing for Gnome 3 to do something similar after upgrading from Gnome 2.x. Yes, I realize that there are things, such as desktop icons and the placement of buttons on the bottom panel that can't be carried over but you should at least have the option of having your menus copied over with whatever customizations are still appropriate. Also, if somebody were to write a utility that could look at your old settings and help you get the most important ones working (or, at least, something equivalent working) it would make the transition much easier. Please note: I may not run Gnome any more, or even want to, but that doesn't mean that I'm not willing to make suggestions on how to make it easier for users to adapt to it. -- 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
