For example, the 'eject' (right click command) on KDE does nothing. Knowing it failed to eject the first time, KDE's smart enough not to present that option for subsequent attempts (or may be it thinks it was ejected successfully; don't know). Incidentally, the /usr/bin/eject command executed manually (like eject /dev/cdrom or /dev/hdd etc.) spits out this error message at umount: umount: /media/FC-6\040i386\040Disc\0405: not found eject: umount of `/media/FC-6\040i386\040Disc\0405' failed (Possibly umount is unhappy with blank space characters. Or it's quite likely KDE's eject command is built on /usr/bin/eject also, thus exhibiting similar problems.) I understand Gnome's the prefered Fedora DE, but it failing for /usr/bin/eject is perhaps an indication that blank space characters are evil :-). The same goes for other simple commands also: mount, df etc. I think they all stem from the fact that in the original unix design, space charcters were simply used as field separators only. A clever idiom to construct a simple formated ASCII data, eh?. Some of us got used to these simple things, complicated 'newer' concepts are indeed harder to understand :-).
