Alright I might have been a bit harsh, but I have seen many points argued with very solid evidence and even a proposal of how to fix them; however, I have not seen a single one accepted on the list. Maybe you have to keep up with more than just the mailing list to figure out what ideas get adopted and which don't, so I could be wrong. Don't get me wrong, I have good wishes for the Gnome project. I tried to make some suggestions and ask for certain functionality a while back but never even got a reply. I just don't have the time and energy to be running around trying to figure out where it is I need to make suggestions, who I need to talk to, or what I need to do to try to get the usability I'd like. Since I'm not at the level of developing extensions or patches, I'm stuck just waiting to see what happens... Until then I'll just follow this list and stick with other WMs which give me more control over how I use my desktop. That's what Linux is all about anyway, freedom and choice. Sorry for the disruption of the thread, and best wishes to all. -- Diego Fernandez - 爱国 _______________________________________________ gnome-shell-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list
