Would you have *all* apps request permission to run initially? Or just those that a few individuals deem undesirable, or all that *anyone* deemed less than what *they* wanted?
No, of course not. Just apps that can end up hogging the system's resources like Beagle.
And would *all* apps appear on the taskbar waiting permission?
Why would you even suggest such a thing? Does FrozenBubble have a taskbar icon? Or KPatience? HOW does installing Beagle by default and having it index help the average user who may not even know it's there(other than the fact that it's using resources)? Last time I checked, using Linux and openSUSE was about choice. Further, like I have also said, I thought that as part of this community, we all have the right to express out opinions on the distro and it's direction. Too many people have not only made up their minds, but feel that their decisions are more important and that anyone who expresses a dissenting opinion is just wrong. S.u.S.E. used to come with KPersonalizer installed and ran on the first login of KDE so that people could choice how much of the desktop effects they wanted. Part of that was probably because of hardware, but it's still a good idea because not everyone is interested in using desktop effects. That one single program is just an example of how you could do things. I dunno, maybe my opinion doesn't count. Supporting S.u.S.E. and openSUSE for 10 years and hoping to improve it. Why bother is what I am hearing anymore. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
