And how exactly are user expectations built for any new and novel features? That's a deep question indeed. I don't look at GNOME3 as trying to build something that meets existing expectations as they stand today. If that was the goal It would just be GNOME2++, and its clearly not that. It's hard for me to reconcile your stated rationalization that somehow this particular announced feature is meant to be an easter egg, when its documented in the cheat sheet _and_ in the feature page with all the other important features. You personally don't see it as important, or useful, or necessary, fine. But I'm not convinced that as a feature its a thrown over the wall piece of cuteness added for a PR bulletpoint. I'm more inclined to believe that given the breadth of the re-design work that has been done and still needs to be done (Shell is a work-in-progress after all). this particular feature is just a lower design priority and thus hasn't been adequately flushed out yet in terms of its discoverable interaction model. -jef -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
