No, I don't expect you to do anything. I am just sad about all the functionality of X windows that has been left behind. Simple things like being able to click on the screen, go to a menu entry and select an entirely different window manager. Or to get a 'kill' icon that you use to give the kiss of death to a runaway GUI program. Some of the changes that led to gnome I like; some things in X I simply do not understand why they are no long available. Some day I might even have time to figure out how to move up from Oneiric without losing the mission critical functionality I have. More bluntly, I do not want my environment to change; I want new stuff but I do not want my old stuff to break. Ever. Not much chance of that though. I do not think there is *any* distribution, open source or otherwise, that promises long term stability. They all seem to be constantly chasing after the latest pretty bauble. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
