this in F19 and it shows the static name. So this seems backwards now with Gnome 3.9.
How to reproduce ?
Baremetal:
hostnamectl set-hostname f20s.localdomain --static
hostnamectl set-hostname oldmac.localdomain --transient
On every boot, Gnome says the Device name is oldmac.localdomain. On a VM of F19, Gnome
uses f19s.localdomain rather than vbox.localdomain.
Actually I probably ought to ask which of these even ought to be set. I find the idea of
static, pretty and transient hostnames thoroughly confusing. I'm not setting a pretty
hostname, btw.
