Hi
All my windows launched end up stuck to the top of my screen and there
is no way to switch to previously launched applications. The last
application launched has focus. It appears there is no window manager.
Metacity is the WM, GNOME is the desktop.
Is there a bug report on this? . This doesnt happen for me. Does it
happen for anyone else at all?
I'll change over to GNOME shortly to see if the problem can be diagnosed
enough to make even considering GNOME again as a desktop even worthy for
concentration of effort.
. If you want something done right, do it yourself, I guess.
Maybe but you will have to patch every update which is exactly why doing
it locally is a problem for distribution and end users. Exceptions are
made for things like bugs that are fixed before being upstreamed.
Keeping the patch count down and not having to maintain patches upon
patches is understandable. Customizing a system where it does what the
user intends is practical, either as an end user or as a developer. I
might take a gander into customizing my biggest rants out of programs
and recompiling the rpms. The code is available, why not.
So having an installer where everything that is on the installation
disks is never going to happen?
Dont know. I personally dont want that in the interface though I am not
a Anaconda developer. I am not sure installing things like every
language in the disk is going to be useful.
As commented earlier on this thread by another poster, honoring the
language selection globally would be desirable for everything but
selected language package installations. Since all upstream programs are
not packaged in rpms but are later packaged into rpms. I believe rpm
needs to contain some language detecting feature where information could
later be transferred for use by an installer referencing the particular
language selected at install. I realize there are many programs that
really have no other rational way to determine what scheme the
development project decided to code their language specific components.
Kickstart can be used to shoot yourself in the foot. It allows for
all kind of customisability unless there is a bug.
I have not tried to configure or use kickstart yet. Is it possible to
glob a simple * for installation within these files?
