I do not really see technical problems with implementing at least approximate migration of what user had, and leave compatible (maping them to new names) known applets, and map properly location. I guess GNOME developers are just lazy :( > Worse, it > would lose the top-right menu, hence losing the ability to logout. This is argument? Why to remove "System" menu from top-right menu in the first place. If you want to not have System menu in this applet, simply make it configurable and/or provide alternative simple applet which do/don't have this single entry. This way both new users (with Programs/Places on left + indicator applet on right), and old users (whetever configuration they had, most probably programs/places/system, or separate logout/poweroff buttons). > > All in all this is not going to change. > So where is information in changelogs about this? Where is information after first login that settings will be lost? Why I cannot add teatime (2.8.0-6) and computertemp (0.9.6.1-1.1) or service-discovery-applet (0.4.4-4.1) applets? I guess there is dozen other nice and usefull applets already in Debian which will not working? Check... giplet - not working, gnome-netstatus-applet - not working, hamster-applet - not working, netspeed - not working. Is this a joke?
