Hello,
With the upcoming release of the new GNOME 2.12, I want to say a couple
of things...
1. Arch is said to do not have a default desktop environment - even so,
I was left under the impression that a lot more work goes into building
quality KDE packages than GNOME's, which is somewhat acceptable as I'm
aware of the fact that most people use KDE anyway. But you could at
least personalize GNOME with Arch splashsreens and default wallpaper the
way you do it with KDE. You could include be bug reporting tool in
GNOME's menu and so on. I noticed that even Xfce was more personalized
than GNOME by default... Than spend some time verifying that all is
working at least half as good as it should, for KDE runs perfectly in
Arch in most ways, but GNOME has many issues...
2. Why is the KDE package installing all sorts of useless apps and GNOME
without the gnome-extras package is barely useful... I for example know
how to take care of things, but many user might not know...
3.If the maintainers are too busy with other stuff to produce quality
builds of GNOME maybe we should start a small project - something like
FreeRock and DropLine to provide the de facto standard GNOME for Arch
Linux...
That's all from me folks. I'd like to congratulate all the Arch core
developers and maintainers which with they work have proven that they
may be outnumbered but they are never outgunned ;)
Best Regards,
Bozhidar
P.S. I still hope that someone can give me some advise as to what is the
problem with my current 2.10.2 installation of GNOME, if it isn't bad
packaging...
