Just put in xfce for someone. Did the upgrade to Debian Testing, which is fairly safe at this point, and there was Gnome3. One look and a short play was enough.
'You may not be real happy about this' 'No I definitely am not!' Then we put in xfce, which is fine, except that the filenames on the desktop are abbreviated and there are no desktop icons and all the old backup files now appear again from Gnome, which they were marked invisible and hidden before. This is in the Debian testing version at least. Also when you move files around sometimes they get copied when you wanted to move them. Better but not quite right still. Turns out however you can replicate the Gnome 2 experience if you set up to run xfce as the desktop, but have it use nautilus as the file manager, by using gnome-tweak-tool. After all that, and a user staring at the screen a few times in horrified disbelief, and a few hours tweaking, we are more or less back to where we left off before the Gnome people went off the rails. No, its not touch screen, no its not a tablet, but its a desktop like we all know and love, and it just works. The only thing I have to figure out now is why the text under the desktop icons is unchangeably in black, thus forcing a light desktop background. Oh well, there is probably a way. -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/Cinnamon-1-4-0-tp4659707p4659764.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
