Hi,
There was this other thread which I decided not not to reply to since,
well, it wouldn't really help anyone. But this seems to have turned into a
friendly constructive conversation, hat off for Tassilo, so I'll throw in
some thoughts.

This is a bug in gvfs that has been fixed in the development version.
The bugfix should come with GNOME 3.4.

Hi,
I hope this is the right mailing list for my question. If I'm on the
wrong list please point me to the right one.
I have an encrypted home partition which gets decrypted and mounted
during the boot process. GNOME Shell shows this home partition as a
removable device in the system notification
Hi,
I'm using GNOME3 for some time now and I really like it. But one thing
gives me a hard time using GNOME3 on my 13" notebook: The configuration
dialogs of some applications, e.g. managing my identities for
Thunderbird, didn't fit on the screen. This makes it impossible to
change my settings sin

Hi list,
I am the developer of an application named AutoKey. One of the features
of AutoKey is allowing the user to create hotkeys. The hotkeys are
grabbed using the xlib window.grab_key() function. In all other desktop

I would argue that anyone is able to write an extension because it is
open, which means that they can control things to some extent. The
primary barrier is likely

Hmm, quite a tempest! Not my intention to be inflammatory honest. I
think that if I were to criticise the direction of desktop software
(gnome and unity) it would be that they are trying to find ways to get
new people to use the platform without due consideration for existing
users. One of m

Sorry Rovanion but I have to disagree with you. Change is part of the game.
And some people aren't going to like it. That's not being a snob or a jerk.
Expecting everyone to bend around you IS. And as far as treating people
badly...it's not the GNOME community treating others poorly in THIS thread.
Hi Tassilo,
Wandells complaints were more on the way the software is developed rather
than the software itself. That those who come to this list with suggestions
and ideas are verbally berated and otherwise treated badly because they do
not fit within the target audience of Gnome Shell.

Yes, I'm using it on one of my vm's. However it isn't clear that this
will be supported very far into the future so I don't want to get
cornered into a spot where I don't have an acceptable upgrade path.
Though thats where I am now isn't it, so maybe I should just do that for
the time being..
Fallback mode is nothing more than the LOOKS of Gnome2...
functionality is not the same, although it does have the basics. I
agree Gnome 3 in its current state is not for everyone, although I
believe it will have improved a lot by 3.4 or 3.6. In the meantime
however, have you tried XFCE?
On Fri,
Have you taken a look at the Gnome Fallback Mode?? It is esentially the
same as the old Gnome 2.
It bothers me that some people need to fork Gnome2 when there is the
Gnome Fallback Mode which provides the old functionality for those not
able(willing) to adapt to the new user experience proposal..

You mean in the glorious 3.4 future?
Extensions are expected to come with a gschema.

Hi everybody,
Maybe I'm the only one, but I still use the bottom arrow of scrollbars. But
when the window is maximized, I can't click on it because the mouse triggers
the "notification area" (don't remember the right word) of the bottom right
corner.
Maybe that hotspot could be moved instead to
Just out of curiosity, how will the gsettings schemas be compiled ? Will
