First, many thanks for your considerable efforts with gnome 3. For me, some of gnome started to go downhill in the mid-2 days. Last night I booted my ppc64 (to check its battery was still working, I had some fun and games last year when it seemed to lose the date after a few months of non-use and everything kept getting fsck'd on each boot), and decided to boot all three LFS-derived systems : the oldest came up in gdm. I'd forgotten I used to use that! (gave it up because it started to hang silently at shutdown when _I_ broke a bootscript : for an *lfs dev, being unable to see where it was hanging wasn't nice). Gcalctool has also got more limited with each release, and epiphany has suffered decreasing usability. I loathe cmake [ reinventing the bumpy wheel of configure, but with edges instead of the fairly smooth curves, in my biased opinion ] so I've long since given up on kde. I suppose I'll have to look at mate and xfce, and wonder how long I'll be able to continue using gnumeric and abiword. Not your problem. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
