Today, hopefully, we'll finish the review of GNOME 3 packages for G:F.
Hi, will it be possible to use GNOME 2 after the push still? I tried G3 last week and it is unusable crap from the point of usability (not code quality).
All may be my failure to set that all up. But that's the problem of the window manager if it cannot offer easy access to such settings, not mine. To be explicit, for example absence of applets (CPU+net monitor, status tray with all the programs hidden there like IM, gmpc etc.) renders that 3 thing into something like twm. I was not able to setup 2x2 desktops (instead of 1x4) or add a new panel (I don't want a panel on the top of the screen and I don't want the status messages appear in the middle of bottom where I have terminals and every song switch hides the line I'm editing). I couldn't add anything to the destkop. Maybe I should not use gnome-shell, if it is possible at all? But that whole thing seems not to be configurable at all.
Not listing the idea of hiding all the settings away from user and adding it back via the tweak tool (like to disable suspend when closing the lid). That is idiocy per se. But this was discussed/flamed several times already.
Have you checked out Xfce yet? It doesn't provide all the functionality GNOME 2 had but it is pretty configurable and should be a good enough substitute in most cases, at least it provides all of what you mention above. -- Guido Berhoerster -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
