Hi,
I'd love to know what people think of ggreeter. For those who don't know, ggreeter is the window that is displayed the first time you log in. And you generally don't see it anymore.
To see it again, just launch 'ggreeter' in the run dialog or a terminal.
I'd love to know what people think about it: is it useful? Should we keep it? Should we remove it?
My personal opinion is that we should remove it and display the relevant information in some other places (in a help menu, eg). Note that removing it also removes some "direct branding", but I wouldn't think it's an issue.
I think it's just not useful in it's current state. It's potentially helpful information and collection of links, but it's also information overload for new users who are just discovering their openSUSE desktop. I think a good idea would be to make it a tool to set up online updates, since that has to be done at the first login anyway. The branding sticks, and a important firstboot task gets done. Also, it could have a link to register the boxed edition for support. I have no idea if that could even be done through the greeter, but it just popped into my head, so I'd thought I'd try it out. -- Kevin "Yo" Dupuy - openSUSE Member Public Mail: <kevin.dupuy@opensuse.org> Meet Bob Barr - Libertarian for President - <http://www.BobBarr2008.com/> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org
