Why is all the burden of proof on people who think there are flaws in it? If I want to get a power off button in the system menu is it just a case of submitting a patch that adds it? Are there really Gnome devs scratching their heads thinking, "That's a great idea, but I just can't see how to do it?" No, there's someone thinking, These morons don't understand the genius of my design." Or the overview which is really nothing more than eye candy that was probably cool to write, but actually is less useful than Compiz's cube which /looked/ like eye candy, but actually added something useful (like drag and drop between workspaces). Sticking with it for the minute as I remember the Spatial era and hope that usability arguments eventually filter through. However I don't see any real improvement in that direction going from 3.0 to 3.2. -- imalone -- 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 Have a question?
