So you're just being nit-picky? As you said, you can easily remove any sensitive personal information, or not even provide it in the first place. The last time I checked, the only thing the Xfce bugzilla asks for is a valid e-mail address, which is easy to come by and hardly considered sensitive information by the standards of any law. But I see this is a matter you take personally, so I'll refrain from discussing it further. >> There's simply no way someone would want to do you a favor by >> fixing your personal pet peeve if your only argument is that the >> software is 'half-baked' if they don't.

Supporting whatever functionality the environment offers is nice, true, but providing a good user experience for most of us is often even more important. That's pretty much the gist of the Xfce philosophy as I understand it. However that's probably not relevant in this case, as the most likely reason for Thunar's incomplete session support is that no-one has had the time, energy and/or will to implement it properly. What I meant by the 'pet peeve' comment was that there are surely several things Thunar doesn't do the way someone wants it to or standards it doesn't implement, but any amount of complaining isn't likely to fix the situation. I'm sure you understand that unless you're willing and able to do the work, you need to convince someone else to do it. Emphasis on the word 'convince', which is very distinct from 'order' or 'shame'. > bye, > dennis - Jari _______________________________________________ Thunar-dev mailing list [email protected] http://foo-projects.org/mailman/listinfo/thunar-dev
