It's not anger. More a bit of frustration that a default like this can even be accepted and that i'm getting no impression at all that you guys care. I mean, the patch is very easy. I showed it and i can commit it if you allow me. So any "difficulty" is non existent. > > I don't like the idea of having an empty spot by default, that is why I > support the idea of: > > - Removing the applet from the default setup > - Changing the applet so that it always show something even if there is > only one virtual desktop Well, as i said before. I am in favor of removing it altogether. However, if it stays installable (which it will) then it should show the pager even with one VD. Before your post i wasn't getting any impression that you guys would be willing to accept that.
