Gnome 2.8 on Fedora 3... Hello, These are some deficiencies I wish there weren't with gnome after too many updates: 1- When we want a panel to appear (in autohide mode), it appears with a delay that grates on my nerves! I prefer to avoid autohide mode now, even though I hate a panel to occupy my screen. 2- Menus and windows cannot be moved farther when they reach to the top of the screen (I'm speaking of moving them using alt+mouse). This causes some problems, e.g. with mozilla preferences menu, you cannot press the OK button. 3- Nautilus and other programs do not remember their previous size! For me who always prefer to be maximaized, it is troublesome. 4- I see that nautilus uses the same policy as konqueror for identifying the file-types: The browser appoints the file-type only when there is no extension. Without any extension, the browser shows the correct type, while with presence of an extension, it follows it. But there is something in konqueror that I wish nautilus would include: When konqueror finds a mismatch between extension and the real content, adds a line in the file-properties tab which shows the actual content... may have you noticed it yet? 5- Still the size of folders isn't shown in properties! The philosophy behind it is being a different browser? Or being simple? That is good, but not to the expense of being useless. And finally, you understand that I'm not discribing all gnome's specifications including faults and virtues; Rather, I'm discussing only some imperfections. With the insight that it is unnecessary to mention improvements made in any new version, you don't think that I am bashing the project. I believe this is unnecessary to state that I love gnome and my criticism is for making my favourite desktop better. But I have to add such sentences because there are always people who wait for a flame war and turn the thread off from its topic. Even though I don't mind flames, I wish the main subject be discussed well. If any of the above issues is wrong, please guide me to adjust the right settings, else, please guide me how to report them as bugs or wishes to developers. There is also a question: - Are both KDE and Gnome to use the same folder as their desktop (i.e. ~/.Desktop)? If so, It is very good IMHO.
