Hello,

In the days of fast boot and all that, I was wondering if many people see the value of having tomboy added to the panel by default.

I use it frequently. Me too. TB is one of the things I show converts to Linux (or to Gnome) as soon as the new install boots. "See? Isn't this neat? Now you can get rid of all those silly post-it notes obscuring the edges of your monitor!"

Ok, looks like enough people use it so lets keep it... Cheers, Magnus On Sun, 2010-02-28 at 06:45 -0600, Bryen M. Yunashko wrote:

I, for one, always remove it from every new install I do.

Do a lot of people use it frequently enough to justify that it is added by default?

Cheers, Magnus

I use it frequently.

It is trivial for someone to remove. And as someone who develops apps on Mono - I have a very hard time believing doing so make a noticeable difference unless the machine is either ancient or seriously deficient in some way. But I also know there is little no point in arguing with people who have convinced themselves it is Java/Mono that is making their Model T run like a .... Model T (and that from someone who also owns a Model T). Aside: Won't GNOME 3.0 change the toolbar metaphor? Perhaps it could be compiled AOT, although I still doubt anyone would notice the difference.

Well tomboy is for sure one of the most used apps in the desktop.

Ditto. Tomboy is fabulously useful.

In speed questions maybe gnote would be faster but what's the point of using it instead of tomboy ? imho none.

Agree. That would be replacing a well-maintained and feature-rich application with a poorly maintained application with many fewer features. -- openSUSE w/GNOME http://www.opensuse.org/en/ Linux for human beings who need to get work done. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org

You seem to believe that my question was an anti-mono crusade, which is not true at all. I have nothing against mono nor tomboy. I just wanted to know if it's worth starting tomboy by default.

Aside: Won't GNOME 3.0 change the toolbar metaphor?

Perhaps it could be compiled AOT, although I still doubt anyone would notice the difference.

Removing one app from automatically starting sure wont make a huge difference. We obviously need to do more, but the more apps we start by default, the longer it will take. My question was raised in my head after I did one of many re-installs and I found myself always removing this particular app as I don't use it.

I use it every day, for a wide variety of tasks. But I don't really care either, since I rarely see the default panel, and where I do see it (on test VMs), I have no use for Tomboy.

When I use SUSE Studio to make GNOME appliances, I like to include some helpful "getting started" information in a Tomboy note that opens when the user logs in. So, funnily enough, even though I don't use the default panel on my desktop, I do actually use Tomboy as-is in appliances VMs all the time. :-) Sandy -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org
