Irrelevant. And please, enough spin. Its not simple "criticizing". There is constructive crticism, and mindless complaining. This thread is the latter. I don't object to criticism: GNOME sucks. So does KDE. I don't like them. I think they are bloated pigs. As such I don't use either. I just don't see how grousing on a RH users list about a long known deficiency that has since apparently been fixed is going to solve or improve _anything_. I strongly suspect the gcc people have some way for people to register legit complaints. -- Hal Burgiss -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
