Ah, the pain. While the penetration of GNOME desktop is not as high as Internet Explorer, it does sound a bit like Microsoft lamenting over losing another % of the browser market when it still has 80%. ("Fear of faster displacement than is really happening.") I don't think the secondary (LXDE, XFCE) or tertiary (IceWM, etc.) desktops would make so much fuss about losing or winning a position. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
