Thanks for stating the blatantly obvious when the merely obvious would suffice. (-: Rolf, I know how to work around it, you know how to do it, what does Mr./Mrs./Ms. J. Sixpack do when s/he's told to use that utility and it ain't there? You can explain until you're blue but the average user is just going to see it as confirmation of; and detractors will use it as more fuel for, the "Linux is too hard!" FUD fire. In my opinion it's just another example of my stated objection to developers having *anything* to do with deciding user interfaces or GUI functionality. The so called "ergonomics" of a distribution. The distance between the species is far too great. A desktop manager is the ultimate in GUI functionality and 99% of what a newbie will base their opinions of a distribution on are rooted in that. Since in this case it is lacking a few expected functions that opinion will probably be rather low for 9.2. "Uber-geek workarounds," or even regular geek workarounds, are not the correct direction to push the desktop managers. _Any_ desktop manager. It's a sad state of affairs IMHO.
