Dylan, jgv: I suggest, Dylan, you just try it and see what the effects are. They are rather retarted, IMHO.
As a matter of interest, yesterday I pulled in all the necessary software and tried the very first item in the Getting Started section of GTK+ 3 reference manual. It runs without a hitch, producing the default widget form which is both resizable, and in general what a window should be. Frankly, I don't understand why developers go out of their way to turn some of these controls off. I've discovered another frog in alarmclock, an app that I rather depend on to keep me going through the day. In this version, while adding a new alarm, the text box for adding dialog to the static popup doesn't appear to be enabled. I am going to report this as a separate bug after I have nailed it down a little better. I suggest that whoever is writing these specifications needs to shake his head. There is a distinct trend in this version of Ubuntu (11.10) to over-restrict some apps that were not previously so poor. This is definitely a retreat from quality. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/936257 Title: the system settings grid shouldn't use a fixed geometry Status in GNOME Control Center: New Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Because i have visual acuity problems it is necessary for me to use a larger font on my desktop. This program and several others have fixed windows boundaries and cannot be resized. Another example is the Menu Editor (alacarte) which is insensitive of the font size along with this rather inconvenient new item. As a programmer of long experience, I find this sort of thing to be careless and sloppy. Who is doing QA on this stuff before you send it out???
