GNOME 3.12 has sane defaults and works perfectly. Obviously we'll improve it further with GNOME 3.14. If Debian comes with a well researched list of requirements then I'm all for it. I think there are various areas where we could improve, especially on user testing. Note that e.g. Windows Vista as well as Windows 7 do not work similarly to GNOME 2, nor XFCE. So I'd prefer if the "truths" / arguments proclaimed are backed up with e.g. usability research. -- Regards, Olav _______________________________________________ Pkg-xfce-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-xfce-devel
