This was about the only thing I liked about Gnome 3. To name a few items that bugged me: I hated that when I wanted to open a NEW terminal window, clicking the icon on my bar would bring me to the one I already opened. I hated that Desktop 4 with my web browser didn't stay Desktop 4 if I closed everything on Desktop 3. Is it a crime to have Desktop 3 empty? Yes yes, I know that I can change all this if I can find an RPM that changes it. If my distro has built one. If not, roll the dice and hope one that someone has made one that works. I hate that too. I'm all for lightweight keyboard oriented desktops if that suits you, and they are out there. Gnome (2) and KDE are not lightweight, and those of us that choose to use one of them needs to accept that. If I want to change the default functionality of my desktop, I want to be able to right click or go into a control panel and check / uncheck a checkbox. Not have to hunt down an RPM that supposedly changes my desktop behavior that my distro may or may not have. But that's just me and my two cents. - Jake /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
