However, I think there ought to be an icon / app for a terminal window. I like the way my current DE (XFCE) has the option on the start menu for "logout" etc. I admit I don't miss the "run" option. Virtually every time I want to do something like that I just go to my open terminal window and type whatever command I need to execute (such as KCALC for calculator, etc.) I like the way some DE's give you an icon on the desktop for your removable media when it's mounted (automatically, most of the time.) Not sure how Gnome 3 will handle that. It also doubles as an "unmount" when you right-click on that icon. Sure you can just pull up Nautilus or a terminal window and handle it that way, but it's nice to have a desktop icon to unmount or access removable media. Maybe I'm just too lazy. -- 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
