Personally I want a window manage that lets me arrange my terminal windows (although I mostly run them fullscreen with tabs for each session), lets me open programs (preferable with alf+F2 and typing in what I want), and has a minimize, maxmimize and close botton on the window. I don't care about icons on the desktop (it's always covered up anyhow, so useless place for icons), nor file managers (I have a shell thank you very much). And of course alt+tab has to cycle through windows, preferably in most recently viewed to least recently viewed order. Everything gnome 3 has done is wrong. It's developers have no clue what they are doing and sure don't care about user feedback. They hijacked a project name, threw everything away and started over with a terrible idea of what a desktop should be, with no regard to users. -- Len Sorensen --- Post to this mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe from this mailing list https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
