* Using GNOME after the first login/logout is annoying or impossible because: * The launchers in main-menu are slow or not responding at all (The standard menu is working). * YaST has similar issues to main-menu. Modules do not start or start after a long delay since when clicked. * Logout/shutdown functionalities are not working anymore and suspend/standby buttons are grayed out.

* There are lacking dependencies for applets, like the deskbar (Bug 328912, reported before release) or others, for which a patch still has to come (python dependency lacks), while the bug, reported in beta 2, is marked as fixed in bugzilla.
The deskbar applet was a mistake made in communicating with the maintenance team. We've been preparing to resubmit the fix so the patch is issued.
* Anjuta is obsolete (Provided version 1.2.4a - Available version 2.2.2), and the provided version starts up with 3 error messages. The bug was reported in beta 2 and was fixed in GNOME:STABLE, upgrading to 2.2.2, but a patch still has to come.
Unfortunately a patch will not come as this upgrade involves new packages.
* Evolution crashes when doing common operations like selecting contacts category (Bug 335546), has issues with Exchange (Bug 328149, found before release), and lacks of some of the most published features of GNOME 2.20, as the backup feature (Bug 331752).
I know the evolution team was preparing a set of fixes, they may be able to give a status.
* Gedit is compiled without python support (Bug 299546), while it has python support on other distributions (read Fedora, to cite one).
Unfortunate side effect of the upgrade to gtksourceview without using the shared library policy: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=337396
* Bug-buddy is dumbed down, without the possibility of reporting bugs (Bug 307860, reported in beta 2).
This was fixed in GNOME 2.20.1 upstream, we have begun backporting this for release.
I think bug reporters and testers did their job during the development stage, the bug slashing weekend and the community contribution to 10.3 were probably the biggest since the birth of the project.
As a consequence, I think some more effort to fix at least the most annoying bugs, some more care in trying patches even with the cooperation of the community, and a somewhat less restrictive approach to patch releases (we are at "only security stuff" now) should be really considered.
I agree, but you will need to convince coolo or the board when that starts functioning to change this policy. -JP -- JP Rosevear <jpr@novell.com> Novell, Inc. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org
