Yes, I can retrain my usage. However I'm tired of chasing the terminal
around where gnome wants to hide it. First (well first for me) it was
on the taskbar. Cool. Then it moved and I found it on the menu. Cool.
Then it moved again, and again, and again and I said 'eff it' and used
the right click option and modified all my documentation to reference
this, thinking that it has been here this long, surely it'll stay...
Especially given that people go "Oooh! Thats handy!" every time I show
them it.
Alas no, it is now removed and it's time for 'hunt the terminal again'
for each release and then modify documentation accordingly. It's not
nice to have an if/then block for each and every release of Fedora on
where to find the terminal. God knows where they'll stick it next
release, however I have an idea.
To quote someone at Red Hat: "Amen Brother." I will now have to update another
couple of internal FAQ's, train a bunch of window techs on the new place to tell
their customers for the hidden terminal, and just be plain grumpy for a bit.
On trying to get a positive outlook on this.. how does someone make a
'corporate desktop' for GNOME? If I want to push out 200 machines with
every fricking user having a
terminal icon on the background and on the menu bars.. how is that
done? I think it will
be easier to go this route and let the GNOME hackers go off mammoth
hunting for a
while...
