And at the end of the day, while most of us users are important to the OSS community, it is the developers who do the hard work. We may disagree with their philosophy and choices, but we should persuade them with reasoned arguments, not call them names just because they chose a particular path (not to mention that very often, people like me, do not bother to find the time to comment on beta-stages). As an aside, I think that given the number of complaints about G3 (and I would not know, having used only XFCE, LXDE and fvwm), in my view, Fedora could consider moving the base distribution to something else? But i don't feel strongly about it, so I am fine with the current situation. Ranjan -- Important Notice: This mailbox is ignored: e-mails are set to be deleted on receipt.
