Hi list, Just a quick reminder to you all, with a couple of feature requests.
Please don't forget that some of use make heavy use of network access techniques like Nomachine NX, XDMCP and VNC to access our desktop applications in Gnome. A few features that are really useful when using XDMCP or similar are missing in Gnome. Specifically: 1) It would be really nice if the "reduced resources" switch was available in the normal Gnome Windows preferences UI (Desktop->Preferences->Windows). The "reduced resources" switch I mean is the one availabe in gconf-editor as apps->metacity->general->reduced_resources on my Debian Sarge desktop. 2) I think this is one for the gdm developers or specifically for the gdm theme developers. The window that shows up when you choose "Log Out $user" or "Shut Down" always has slightly the wrong options when you are in an XDMCP environment. For example, the "Switch User" option is often available, which only works when you are at the real console of the machine. A little tidying up here and testing with XDMCP would add some nice polish to our favourite desktop environment. In general: With all the nice new stuff you can do with the 3-D desktop, just don't forget that for many Gnome users, non-3D desktops used in network environments are going to be around for a long time! very best regards, Seb James -- Embedded Software Foundry Ltd.
