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).

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.

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.


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.

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.

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.
=)

Touche Vincent, touche ;))




actually, with stuff like gconf etc. I'd say that gnome is technically more "windows wannabe" than kde, anyways, that does'nt matter, personal attacks over these things are just plain stupid, and kde vs gnome flamewars have no place on this list, calling people idiots and generally troll is not good
