Gnomers,
I've had the opportunity to go through and do the marcusmerge bringing
my system up to Gnome 2.4 RC1. While I see many improvements, there are
some things that I had difficulty with. I was interested in other
feedback, but I am not on the mailing list. I will look at the archives
to see how the discussion goes.
If there is a gnome discussion group this should be posted to, please
feel free to repost this message or send me the more appropriate place
and I will do so.
Things I am really going to miss:
1. Being able to set up the window manager to raise a window when I
click on it. I had this behavior before, but the key shortcuts don't
allow for mouse button events and there isn't a configure for Metacity
anymore that I saw.
2. I now have to double-click on the email panel applet to start up
evolution :( I liked only having to single click.
3. A long time ago I use to be able to have my panel not stay on top
all the time. I don't see this as an option anymore.
Things broken for me:
1. When I drag-n-drop a directory into burn:// it doesn't show until I
do a refresh.
2. I had a tough time with gdm. It isn't compatible with the previous
version and I had to update the gdm.conf and copy a Default.sample file
to Default (IIRC).
3. After logging in and out a few times I seem to have run out of
pseudo terminals. New gnome-terminal windows wouldn't show a bash
prompt. I also had several bash instances running even after logging
out. When I log in I get 2 windows with 4 bash commands running as tabs
in each. I wouldn't think this is excessive.
The things I like best so far:
1. nautilus-cd-burner. Nice and simple. Great.
Cheers,
Sean
