Be aware that a significant number of gnome devs are @ RH ... not sure what the politics is but the gap between upstream and fedora is not as great as may appear sometimes - much like systemd ... and previous calls to re-consider the default DE have met with rather a lot of silence so far ... or suggestions to file bugs, contribute patches or perhaps even become a gnome dev. Not once that I recall has the response been sure - lets make KDE the default DE ... That saod. I'd be delighted, albeit surprised, if any progress was made on this front. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
