Just in case folks are interested in more easter eggs and how to stop them

I didn't know about "free the fish", but it turns out that it's a GNOME easter egg, not an Ubuntu one per se. It is a gnome-panel feature, i.e. it doesn't spawn any extra processes. http://www.koders.com/c/fidAE30711B15FF187E3B1087F51EA27C38E34218E4.aspx?s=%22free+the+fish%22#L306 > but how does one stop it, ?? Heh heh. Hit Alt+F2 and run "gnome-panel --replace". > I > and what are all these strange things doing in the code Lots of easter eggs. Rather too many, in my opinion. :-) > are they all eggs, and can i make them work ?? Yes, they are, but they may not all be in the version of gnome-panel that you are running. I tried just now on another machine, and it recognised only "free the fish" and "gegls from outer space". Anyway, to try it, just hit Alt+F2 and type in (exactly) the phrase in the double-quotes in each of the strcmp() calls. *** enjoy ram -- ubuntu-in mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
