Yeah. That was not constructive. Things that might have been constructive: * here is how slab clones windows, and here is some usability reasoning on why that particular cloned functionality is bad * here is how slab clones windows, and here is some discussion of an alternate path that some other GUI took, and why we might want to do that instead etc. 'windows bad, cloning windows bad' is value-free. (I'm not personallly sold on the slab, but that has more to do with things like the apparent lack of tarball releases and (at least in the version that is in Feisty) the lack of very basic things like obeying fitts' law when in the panel. But those are concrete problems that can be discussed and addressed; 'it clones windows' is not, and hence isn't useful.) Luis P.S. Despite not being sold on slab for the desktop, I'm *desperately* awaiting the day it is ported to the N800 ;) > Alex Jones wrote: > > Let's face it, slab was conceived out of Novell's desire to make SuSE a > > drop-in for Windows. > > > > I don't think this is the direction we want to be taking GNOME, > > personally. > _______________________________________________ > desktop-devel-list mailing list > desktop-devel-list@gnome.org > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list > _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
