Point taken, everyone, including you and I, grows accustom to their own preferences. However I will point out two items I mentioned, clicking a menu item and going to the current one vs opening a new one, and the desktop behavior was the opposite of the default in behavior in Gnome 2 and became quickly irritating when there was no obvious way to change this behavior back. After using Gnome 3 for several months, my overall feeling of it vs Gnome 2 / KDE was.... Gnome 2 and KDE have their default behavior and if you want to change it, here is a control panel and / or right clicking on something and you can QUICKLY modify it to your preferences. I *felt* like I had a lot more freedom to choose. Gnome 3 on the other hand doesn't give obvious doors into changing a lot of behavior that I was used to being able to change in Gnome 2 and flat out refuses to even offer the options on several things that I could configure before. Maybe there was an RPM to do it, maybe not. I *felt* like they were choosing a lot of things for me and if I didn't like it, tough bunnies. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
