I wonder which Gnome was used in these tests to compare to OSX; maybe Gnome 2.8 from Sarge? -- sounder mailing list sounder lists.ubuntu.com http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/sounder ----- End forwarded message ----- -- ---- WBR, Michael Shigorin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ------ Linux.Kiev http://www.linux.kiev.ua/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
