Re: GNOME V 2
Everything after that went to the crapper. The latest thing is little more than Bovine Excrement that has been left to fester to 9 months.
Who the hell decided that we no longer needed THREE buttons on the Top right of the window frame, when TWO would be enough?
The people responsible for that need to be taken out and put in the stocks until they repent.
I could customise Gnome 2 easily. The devs have clearly forgotten KISS with V3.0 onwards.
I've lost all faith in them and these days, I use XFCE but there are still bits of Gnome needed for it to run well.
Then there is the repackaging that makes errors appear (for example, Failed to load module “pk-gtk-module") which no one can explain why...
When on older versions of the OS it didn't appear.
That sort of thing could drive newbies mad. Many of us old hands (I go back to Ultrix when it comes to unix like OS's) simply shrug our shoulders and move on.
Linux is used by many of us commentards but it is still very rough around the edges.
