You're quite anal about your opinions, no? Are you trying to imply that a standard X cut-n-paste works better in KDE than GNOME? Funny... I highlight and middle click in GNOME also.GNOME uses double-click by default, and I don't have a problem with doing things that way. "A lot" of keyboard crap? Huh? You yourself admit that doing a multiple select with a double-click model involves one *fewer* keyboard press.Thank you for the second reminder that Gnome sucks. Keyboard crap for copy/paste == Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V, in Linux you just highlight and middle click. And yes there's one more button press to initiate the selection process with single-click, that's a *hell* of a lot better that *lots* more mouse crap (aka double-clicks).
Actually, I find this whole thread quite laughable... we're arguing over one click vs. two? Sheesh... Juan needs to release a really shitty system-breaking kernel so that people actually talk about worthwhile things.
/me shakes his head in amazement.
Ok, this is *really* laughable. You think GNOME is more similar to windows than KDE? What kinda pot you been smoking? Care to share? KDE is the biggest Windows wanna-be out there! One reason I *don't* run KDE is because it reminds me too much of windows. Even KDE3 is too close to windows for my liking.Hi! I don't. Because I use GNOME, which uses double-click, and I don't have to. Like it or not, this is a legitimate adaptation problem.Yes, I understand you stick to Gnome because you like the Windows interface. Some of us like to move on to better things.
If you want to move on to something better, use Enlightenment. Or WindowMaker. If you're trying to move onto something better, in terms of look and overall UI, than windows, you really need to stop using KDE.
Sorry... had to interject. I've been trying hard not to laugh too much at this silly thread, but this one almost made me pee my pants.
What happened to the good old days when people actually discussed useful stuff on this mailing list? It's depressing to see what the list has been reduced to.
And no, David, this isn't directly an attack on you, so please don't take it as such. I just found your message far too amusing to pass up. =)
