However, this does illustrate a general problem I find with Fedora,
at with the default Gnome desktop: The lack of "discoverability",
especially in terms of how to configure things. Lot of things
are missing from the default settings tools - you first have
to download some other tool. (A related issue: The Firewall
configurator is installed by default, but it would help if it
was but should be under the Settings tool, rather than an
application. At least adding a link from the Network
configuration tool would be helpful.)
Perhaps more of the config tools should be installed by default?
Or a convention for "graying out" tools that aren't installed
but might be useful, with a simple way to install them?
The KDE install seems better in this respect - more stuff is
configurable from the "System Settings" tool without installing
extra packages. (OTOH the KDE config tools can be a bit cluttered
and overwhelmin. Also, I haven't figured out how to install/select
a desktop L&F I really like, but I can live with the default. The
available non-defaults are worse - for example the panel clock
becomes unreadable.)
