I haven't used them yet, but will once they get in the archive. I'd be inclined to leave them enabled because they are meant to help users. Benedikt seems to develop most features with usability in mind, I think he may be right this time as well. And as mentioned in this thread it's easier to change the setting for those who do not need it as it is likely they are more experienced users anyway. > I personnaly don't use (and don't really like) that kind of tools, and > what I always appreciated in Xubuntu is that it doesn't do things if you > don't ask it to do them. So, just like we removed special desktop icons, > I'd prefer not enabling this tools by default. True, they both are disabling an upstream default setting. But they differ in that icons are disabled as Ubuntu did with gnome/nautilus default whereas ubuntu did not disable gnome-volume-manager popping windows up. I still think Xubuntu should mainly differ from Ubuntu in the selection of packages and the pros and cons that are a consequence of this. It should be user friendly rather than power-user oriented. Anyway we have a few months to test this new thunar feature and we'll be able to take a better decision closer to release. and thanks to Gauvain for packaging it so quickly ;)
Awesome! :) Jani
