A less cluttered desktop
by Matthias Clasen
In anticipation of the corresponding upstream change, I have just built
a change to the GConf schemas in libgnome to not show icons in menus and
buttons by default anymore.
This change may take a little while to get used to, but I hope that most
people will come around and appreciate the less cluttered desktop.
Feedback appreciated.

The default theme for F12
by Matthias Clasen
Hey all,
we've been discussing the idea of changing the default GTK+/Metacity
theme in F12. Nodoka has been the default for a while, and it seems to
undergo a major rework now ( http://mso-chronicles.blogspot.com/ ).
We don't want to do a radical visual change, though. The idea is to go
back to the upstream default, Clearlooks.
Let me know what you think.
I'd like to make this change for the alpha.

Fedora 12 Features Needing Updates
by John Poelstra
We have reached and passed the Fedora 12 Feature Freeze milestone. All
Fedora 12 features should be significantly complete and in a "testable"
state. We need the help of several feature owners to bring their pages
current or target them for Fedora 13.
According to a review of all the feature pages, the following features
have not been updated recently or are not 100% complete. Please update
them no later than Wednesday, August 6, 2009.

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/VirtStorageManagement
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/YumLangpackPlugin
If any of the features listed above remain in their current state, I
will recommend that FESCo review and drop them from the Fedora 12
feature list at their August 7, 2009, meeting.
If your feature is substantially complete and in a "testable state" for
Fedora 12, please perform the following:
1) Update the % complete and "last updated" date
2) In the status section please also include what remains to be
completed including your realistic assessment as to whether it is
possible to complete by Final Freeze on 2009-09-22.
If you believe your feature is NOT ready for Fedora 12, that is okay :)
Fedora 13 is only a few short months away. If you would like to target
your feature for Fedora 13:, please change the:
1) page category to "Cateogory:FeatureReadyForWranger"
2) "targeted release" to Fedora 13.
If your feature will not be ready for Fedora 12 and you aren't sure what
is going to happen to it:
1) Please change the category of your page to Category:FeaturePageIncomplete
2) Remove Fedora 12 as the targeted release.
Thank you for your help,
John

RE: Less cluttered desktop
by Hristo Petkov
Hi guys,
This issue with the cluttered desktop is neither new nor fedora specific. The problem is to get knowing when to stop 'improving' things on your computer.
I personally prefer a little bit older version of the OS so far it is performing well with the applications. Usually most of the applications are not complied with new developments and make problems.
If I have to choose between reliability of performance and upgraded functionality I would choose reliability and flowless operation.
If something works don't touch it unless it is damaged.
Well, it is a personal view and I do not engage anybody with it.
Best regards

Cleaning up the Administration menu on the live cd
by Matthias Clasen
Here is a proposal for a drastic first cut, dropping tools that are
dysfunctional or obsoleted by other modules or of limited use or totally
uninteresting for the target audience of a desktop spin:
- system-config-boot
- system-config-language
- system-config-lvm
- system-config-network
- system-config-rootpassword
- system-config-selinux
- system-config-services
After this cut, we'll be left with
- PackageKit stuff
- authconfig
- s-c-firewall
- s-c-printing
- s-c-users
I fully expect some outcry in reaction to this proposal, but keep in
mind that the tools will still be available for installation, just not
directly on the live cd.
Comments ?

Question about netbook screens
by Paul W. Frields
Hi Desktop SIG,
When I talked to someone with an EeePC today, he told me he wanted to
have Fedora 11 but had to install another OS, because Fedora would
sometimes draw windows whose action areas weren't on the screen, so he
couldn't make button selections. I don't have a netbook, so I don't
know if or how this problem might be solved, and was hoping someone
could tell me.

Depends on the hardware. If it's friendly graphics and intel
networking, we should compare quite well. If it's a macbook with
nvidia graphics and broadcom networking then all bets are off; as we
just don't know how to power down the hardware when idle.
