Gnomers, I've had the opportunity to go through and do the marcusmerge bringing my system up to Gnome 2.4 RC1. While I see many improvements, there are some things that I had difficulty with. I was interested in other feedback, but I am not on the mailing list. I will look at the archives to see how the discussion goes. If there is a gnome discussion group this should be posted to, please feel free to repost this message or send me the more appropriate place and I will do so. Things I am really going to miss: 1. Being able to set up the window manager to raise a window when I click on it. I had this behavior before, but the key shortcuts don't allow for mouse button events and there isn't a configure for Metacity anymore that I saw. 2. I now have to double-click on the email panel applet to start up evolution :( I liked only having to single click. 3. A long time ago I use to be able to have my panel not stay on top all the time. I don't see this as an option anymore. Things broken for me: 1. When I drag-n-drop a directory into burn:// it doesn't show until I do a refresh. 2. I had a tough time with gdm. It isn't compatible with the previous version and I had to update the gdm.conf and copy a Default.sample file to Default (IIRC). 3. After logging in and out a few times I seem to have run out of pseudo terminals. New gnome-terminal windows wouldn't show a bash prompt. I also had several bash instances running even after logging out. When I log in I get 2 windows with 4 bash commands running as tabs in each. I wouldn't think this is excessive. The things I like best so far: 1. nautilus-cd-burner. Nice and simple. Great. Cheers, Sean
