I tried it. One think I consider important is alternative .... Well in KDE they are called 'virtual desktops'. Its not that they don't exist in Cinnamon, its that they are obscure and awkward. I click on the "2" and can't get it to switch. I had to go to google to find out how to add more and its highly obscure and unintuitive. It is not in the 'system settings' and alt-clicking or right-clicking on the "1" and "2" doesn't offer controls.
In fact the UP of the 'system settings' is bloody awful. There's no "ok/apply/cancel" button, for example and some things you have to log out and log back in before they take effect --- only it doesn't tell you that.
Maybe I'm too acclimatised to KDE but compared to the other Alt-Gnome DEs such as lxde it is very awkward.
We're obviously not talking about the same release (much less the distribution,) Anton, so I can't really comment on what you're seeing. What Marco and I were discussing was the fact that Cinnamon, at least in the implementations we've experienced elsewhere, has clearly already demonstrated that it could be a real contender for 'hearts and minds' out there. We're talking tangible, achievable potential, too, not long term pie in the sky potential. I think it'd be fantastic if openSUSE were to put even a modest fraction of the time and effort into it as they did into GNOME2. I really don't think it needs all that much to give the other DEs out there a real run for their money (IMHO, of course!) regards, Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
