Not everyone's requirements are those of Idiot Users that Gnome and other DE developers only target (in addition to themselves), and completely ignore and make life harder for the few remaining power users. "Either you're one of us (developers), or you're an idiot user" is becoming the ethos increasingly more leading FOSS projects (that should be redefined to stand for Fascist Open Sore Software). The complexity and ugly kludges just keeps on piling, and it's impossible to do anything unless you essentially train yourself into a developer of said piece of software, or succumb into being and idiot user. > File bugs, they'll get fixed. Just like it took three years (or more) for anything to happen to the gtk internal focus tracking fuckup -- and not by the gtk folks, but rather by annoyed Ion users. And besides, I won't touch registration-required webshit known as suckzilla. (And it can take a few years for Debian to forward bug reports to upstream.) -- Tuomo _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
