The big flaw in this "service in the backend - gui in the frontend" reasoning is IMHO the notifications.
I really like notifications... while I'm in the computer. When I need to do other stuff, I leave the computer, and close the gwibber GUI... but know what? as the notifications are sent by the always-running service in the backend, they still continue to pop-up. What should I do? Configure to stop and start notifications every time I stop or start using the computer? Is that "usability"? -- Exits on Close instead of Iconifying https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/420953 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
