Re: [Ayatana] Apply a real grid feature for both the Gnome 2.x desktop and Unity

I never thought that this might be considered a bug, I just thought since this has been the case for Ubuntu (I haven't tried other distributions running Gnome except for Ubuntu derivatives) for as long as I can remember it was a design flaw, and not really a "bug". 2011/5/6 Ingo Gerth > Before p

Sorry for double posting but I forgot to add that this isn't just affecting newly created icons, I can arrange the existing ones into complete disorder even when having "keep aligned" checked. http://i.imgur.com/Wy9jv.png 2011/5/6 Niklas Rosenqvist > I never thought that this might be considered

Re: [Ayatana] Idea for improving visibility of running applications
