-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I agree fully with the author of this bug. Static workspaces, quick launch buttons, applets etc. as one used to have in the Gnome 2 panel should in my oppinion be supported by default before the Gnome 3 desktop can move on to Stable release.
The standard reply that it will not be supported because of a religious kind of desktop philosophy that must be adhered to according to the Gnome authors, will in my opinion not work for many people who are used to years of Gnome 2 with an in my opinion very well working panel and desktop philosophy attached. To add my whishlist then: - - ability to move stuff around in the top panel bar. - - ability to remove stuff from the top panel bar. - - ability to add things like a desktop switcher applet and window list applet (these do not have to be applets but I liked the functionality) - - ability to run one's own WM (always had sawfish with the handy close button on the left of the window) I think I will get used to the visual "bling bling" of the new thing but the basic behaviour of Gnome 2 should be there and relatively easily to access (or even copied from one's Gnome 2 configuration?) off topic: - ---------- The reason I reply to this, after an unheeded update of Testing my desktop looks and feels very different to what I was used to the last approx. >6 years. This has taken now already three afternoons of my valuable (fortuanately holiday) time to sort out that there is no choice to change the behaviour as far as the Gnome team is concerned. Very disappointing because Gnome was actually the first properly working and easily configurable desktop environment that I encountered on Linux and I have stuck to it almost from the beginning (just as the Debian distro, good work!). yours, Tjeerd Pinkert -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk71U6EACgkQ9xQaBfeouaqCswCaAliYBqmcrpzX7YL33pp2lKlj sz4AnA90rsy0oR4S8CboL5hyCdW1w7hi =Dhih -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
