"Way up the list there was a post about system admins wouldn't implement this release because of the button issue using productivity as an excuse. I would hope that if a system administrator thought this would have a negative impact on his/her coworkers, then he/she would have the sense to look up the fix"
The problem is this kind if change will trigger more and more patches from Debian base to keep global interface/application coherence: At least all tabbed applications will probably soon have their tab close button go left for instance. So in a near future this problem will not be solved by a few lines of configuration added to gconf (or gconf-editor will start to look like regedit!), for each users (no global setting possible): That's an unpredictable hassle for people who make long term predictable choice, imo a deal breaker. Ubuntu servers took market shares... desktop not really. 2 reasons: -It's long term choice and next Ubuntu will only be third LTS (compare to Red-Hat history...): Maybe we were at the end of the observation period. -Maybe having 1 year to switch after only 2 years (3 years support and 2 years between LTS desktop releases) is too often: Compare to Red-Hat (about 7 years support) or windows (XP: 2001-2014): Maybe having the same support time for desktop and server LTS (5 years) could help. Now, we add a third reason... Ubuntu desktop will not go corporate this way :-( -- [Master] Window Control buttons: position/order/alignment https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/532633 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
