A lot of things 'missing' in GNOME 3 compared to GNOME 2 aren't going to be replaced as part of GNOME's core development, but could certainly be replaced by extensions. A lot of other things 'missing' aren't going to be re-added in the same form, but the form isn't really the important thing. Consider panel applets. The point isn't really the form of a panel applet, which was never the greatest form in the first place, but the functionality. Is it that you want a weather panel applet, or that you want to be able to tell what the weather is quickly? Because you're probably not going to get the first, but you may well get the second. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
