Regardless, please bear in mind that test list is not where any decision to change Fedora's default desktop would happen. I don't want to appear to stomp on any useful/interesting discussion, but if anyone's actually serious and not just venting, here, please consider the best way to achieve your goals; posting here might be a good way to order your thoughts and see who else agrees, but ultimately it's not the way to start the process. -- 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
