Every desktop environment has some differences. Many share common APIs. What actually is your point. You should not expect a KDE application to run as smoothly in Unity/GNOME as it runs in KDE. Some integration might be missing. > Hn...Ha... Why not GNOME X.X? Great Unification. I like GNOME shell, but again it is personal choice. Use whatever you want > Ubuntu,Please listen to us. The voice from users! I never voted you to be the voice of users. Please speak for yourself. Office suit has changed only once and there is a genuine reason. Window buttons has changed only once. You want a dumb theme? Why drop Unity? Just because you don't like it? Many users like Unity. They just use it with satisfaction without spamming the Internet on how much they like Unity (unlike Unity haters) > Now,I choose Xubuntu, never Unity I am happy you found your choice of desktop in the Ubuntu family. I found mine. There is an extremely loud vocal minority which hates Unity, due to which many people fall in a delusion that everyone hates Unity. You want to know what is the problem with any Ubuntu discussion these days? People can't just talk about anything these days without facing the Unity hater crowd. Look at this. https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-sl8EjF5vsf4/Tzis4sfU5tI/AAAAAAAAEP0/Pb0Eafp1WmE/s924/unitycommonsense.png I know you are tired. You need rest while the Ubuntu developers are listening to their users and striking a fine balance between "satisfying everyone's personal pet wish" and "developing the desktop which can be used by the majority". The best solution is not just blindly listening to users and doing what they ask for. Sometimes you need to say a firm NO and do what actually is good for everyone rather than listen to someone and fulfill his pet wish. You must have heard this quote from Henry Ford: --> If I'd asked customers what they wanted, they would have said "a faster horse". -- Manish -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop
