Bogus. Don't try the old-war-horse defense. I'm an old war horse. Professional UNIX admin for >15 years, used LINUX since kernel 0.99a, and paid subscriber back in the Ximian days.

Move on. _______________________________________________ gnome-shell-list mailing list gnome-shell-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list
