- Metacity's new window in the background
We have a bug report open it. Upstream has tentatively agreed to make it a option disabled by default
What means "disabled by default"? I hope we get the old behaviour by default :)
<offtopic flamewar="false" excuse="friday"> Anyway, I think these are the kind of changes that irk people a lot as far as GNOME approach to usability goes: experimental behavior that is highly subjective, which is being forced onto the masses with no way of opting out.
I know, I know, this is not the list for this sort of complaints, but these are things that people perceive as being "the disto", and I think that Fedora should use its clout to fight these kind of changes upstream. Especially when they originate from Red Hat :) (BTW, I dread posting to the GNOME lists about this, I can almost hear the your-are-not-our-target-customer-eveybody-is-happy-with-it kind of response...) </offtopic>
- Evolution can't print
Do you have a bug report open on this?
No, I'll file one when I get home.
- Gedit's tab
Might request a option to turn this off in bugzilla.gnome.org or post to http://mail.gnome.org/archives/usability/index.html
For curiosity's sake, am I the only one that hates this?
You are talking about Firefox 1.5's fast back feature that stores a rendered copy of the history in it's cache. It might gobble up some RAM if you browse a large number of sites with huge images in it but it's good otherwise. Thanks for the feedback.
Yes, it works brilliantly! It's really really good for reading LKML :)
