I agree. A color depth is something you typically choose once, based on the capabilities of your graphic card, and should have absolutely no reason to change it during nomal operation. So sure, it would be nice you *could* change it on the fly, but the fact you can't isn't so terrible. And if you want to compare this to the "other" OS - Microsoft Windows: isn't that the operating system where many times after install/uninstall (a much more common operation than color depth change), and many other benign things require you to... reboot? That is actually worse than just needing to restart X (especially for server machines). Windows the OS on which the joke goes "Windows detected your mouse has moved; Reboot now for the change to take effect?" :) -- Nadav Har'El | Sunday, Jan 23 2005, 13 Shevat 5765 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone +972-523-790466, ICQ 13349191 |The path of least resistance is what http://nadav.harel.org.il |makes rivers and politicians crooked. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
