Package: gnome-core Version: 1:2.26+0 Severity: wishlist Hello,
Compiz is being installed by gnome-core, and forcing itself as default WM. Metacity performs better on my system than Compiz does. It would be nice if Compiz was a suggested package instead of an alternate dependency, so that metacity will always be installed by default, and if the user wants Compiz, then they can get it themselves. Alternatively please adjust the way GNOME determines the default WM, and at the same time make it where both metacity and compiz are always installed. For example, on Foresight Linux, you have to check a box to make GNOME launch compiz instead of metacity, and I think an option like that is also appropriate for Debian. Thanks. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-rc3-tip-sip1 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages gnome-core depends on: ii compiz-gnome 0.8.2-6 OpenGL window and compositing mana ii eog 2.26.2-1 Eye of GNOME graphics viewer progr ii gedit 2.26.1-1 official text editor of the GNOME ii gnome-applets 2.26.1-1 Various applets for the GNOME pane ii gnome-control-center 1:2.26.0-1 utilities to configure the GNOME d ii gnome-icon-theme 2.26.0-1 GNOME Desktop icon theme ii gnome-menus 2.26.1-2 an implementation of the freedeskt ii gnome-panel 2.26.2-1 launcher and docking facility for ii gnome-session 2.26.2-1 The GNOME Session Manager ii gnome-settings-daemon 2.26.1-2 daemon handling the GNOME session ii gnome-terminal 2.26.2-2 The GNOME terminal emulator applic ii gvfs 1.2.3-1+b1 userspace virtual filesystem - ser ii metacity 1:2.26.0-3 lightweight GTK+ window manager ii nautilus 2.26.3-1 file manager and graphical shell f ii yelp 2.26.0-2 Help browser for GNOME gnome-core recommends no packages.
