Yup, did that one long ago. Now where do I lock down the names of my displays? Finally came to F21 this weekend and my docking fixup script broke yet again because some idiot decided renaming all of the displays from a zero based numbering scheme to a one based names was worth breaking things over. Don't even remember what the change was last time, but it was something equally pointless. Of course in the long ago I didn't even NEED a docking script, Gnome just did the right thing on its own. Long ago. Changing existing names of things for trivial reasons should be an offense at least worthy of scorn and verbal abuse, but increasingly it is accepted and even praised. Not to mention docking in general has 'strongly discouraged' ever since the Tablet Madness hit. Mate lets be escape enough of it to be mostly useful, just so long as I remember that shutdown or reboot will fail when docked and apparently is a 'won't fix, you shouldn't do that' bug. Really wish I could find a way to change the power management behavior when a session isn't running, even if I could just disable ALL power management until a mate-power-manager could start. > Little less drastic than switch to BSD, where really, you're trading one > set of headaches for another. Switching operating systems over one bug is drastic, but increasingly it is more a philosophical divergence. The UNIX way vs whatever this new RedHat computing model is supposed to be called. Inertia keeps me running updates instead of reinstalling but when I finally replace this Thinkpad it will probably be time to distro/OS hunt.
