Well, that's not the most important issue. The problem is that these "developers" can't take suggestions... and they certainly can't take criticism. More flagrantly, they just don't get the message that their software is garbage. It's tough love, but necessary. Is it ego? Is it just naivety? I couldn't say. But I can say that, for decades, the little Linux boys and girls rebuke and shun people like me who give them suggestions. After a while, those suggestions turn to more explicit criticisms. I worked on the original Sun OS OpenLook, and I worked on the Motif Window Manager and the Common Desktop Environment (CDE). But no one takes my suggestions. And, to those who just cry about how we're complaining... no. We're telling you why this crap isn't working and what to do about it. But you're just not listening. Perhaps you are having trouble comprehending, but these suggestions are contributions. One doesn't have to "write code" to contribute. In fact, I have been blasted for suggesting that you need architecture. You can't produce quality software by just having a bunch of fan boys start slinging code. Architecture is the reason X windows was (and is) so good, why it ran just fine on a 1980s processor on workstations that were way less powerful than anyone's cell phone today. It was well designed, even if the code was in some places "ugly." Many of us (I see some of my former colleagues from Sun contributing on the forums) are contributing; we're telling you how to architect and design packages, libraries, tool kits. But we're tired of being rebuffed and told we don't know what we're talking about. More importantly, we're just looking for a platform that works. But if this is not going to be such a platform, perhaps the community needs a different path forward. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/335761 Title: Placement policy 'Remember' by default for all windows To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/kubuntu-default-settings/+bug/335761/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
