Is it any the average user's face? I have my browser opened all the time, usually taking up significant real-estate. The same goes for all my family members regardless of operating system. The desktop is really never 'seen' and if anything is just a dumping ground for unsorted files that get downloaded/uploaded from other sources (net or removable media.) Panel real-estate on the other hand is a premium, having unhidable partitions in the disk mounter applet makes that particular panel applet cumbersome to use effectively when you have several mountable partitions. -jef"still finds it really unfortunate that he can't unmount volumes via a context menu from the Places menu itself and is required to either interact with the file manager icons or use the diskmounter panel applet to unmount a device. Not being able to unmount from Places makes it harder to avoid needing to use the 'Desktop' meme."spaleta -- Fedora-desktop-list mailing list Fedora-desktop-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-desktop-list
