Public bug reported: I've got a machine that was installed with the stock (gnome) desktop, and then I added xubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-desktop.
The results are messier than they might be. The various desktops leave messy artifacts in each other's menus (in particular, KDE programs show up with bad labels in xubuntu menus). The fight over the splash screen is also not very edifying, with the kernel rebuilding and all. It seems to me that it would be good if each desktop were TWO meta- packages: one that installs a respectable version of the desktop as citizen who can get along with others, and another that says 'take over this machine, please'. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- multiple desktop metapackages conflict https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/179731 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
