Nothing wrong with that.... as long as people are used to it and it is usable.
Take for example file navigation. The file navigation in Firefox is different than Windows. (The one that starts out with HOME DESKTOP FILE SYSTEM... huh?) I think it is due to using GTK or might be QT, I'm not sure) And everyone I've talked to in the Linux world thinks it's abominable.... I certainly do and wish they make it more in line with most GUI programs. I hope they see the light some day.
That's the GNOME system. Gnome has gone the way of Mac. I fully expect to see a special gnome mouse with only one button released at some point. The core gnome developers have gone insane and have been cutting out features and usability in favor of making it more like Macintosh's "easy" system. I don't know whether or not it's easier for new users, but I find it to be "slow and tedious" and the very idea that you would actually remove options entirely (not just put them in an "Advanced" tab, but remove them from the system to be entirely unfathomable. At one time, people would say that Gnome and KDE were essentially doing the same thing. That certainly isn't true any more. -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
