Just came first response: "Free Software World is vast, if you want a "conservative desktop", look at XFCE." Well, let's wait for more responses ... :-) Regarding GNOME 3. I actually have been a user of GNOME for long time and appreciated its functionality without the desease of too many features. I liked the ecosystem of their applications. I thought it was too slow/unresponsive. So, I welcomed GNOME 3 as a natural progress and expected it to deliver new architecture (that what their devs were also excited about) that would cure some of that sluggishness, among others. As I said I found the desktop very responsive, lacking at this stage the usual fat (that will come with time any way, hopefully not too soon ...). But I did not expect the obvious screwup with the menu system - you would think it would be impossible from a bunch of devs who delivered by now a mature DE like GNOME 2). I hope they reflect and change that part - it should be easy and not affecting the underlying architecture, as the one "misdeveloped" menu system already exists, but in the wrong place and misconstrued. I am hopeful. Second response just came in: " ... Your arguments about RHEL desktop issue are a bit strange to me regarding that most gnome-shell developers and designers are employeed by Red Hat. I am not saying that Red Hat management has a big influence on the design but I am sure that they wouldn't sponser it that much if they didn't like it at all. ... " So far they are easy on me - I was afraid somewhat that they would go to get a rope :-) > ... > So if someone has constructive suggestions of an alternative to Gnome > 3 - that should be fair game ... > > But you'd be targetting F16 at this stage of the game ... I would imagine. > ... As you know the movement already started on Fedora users list. But it is too early to jump ship ... We shoud try to fight it out first :-) JB -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
