The idea started as follow: I wanted to hack nautilus for goneme, I've downloaded the latest tarball and started building, Just to discover that i'll have to compile other packages to satisfy the dependencies. So, Why not build the whole GNOME desktop and have a look ?
And so I did, with the aid of garnome, Everything was smooth, I only had to "make CC="gcc -lcups"" to complete libgnomecups linking "who is using this anyway ??" and just fetching a few debs and installing them.
So gnome at last, First, I erased my ~/.gnome* and ~/.gconf*, Just to discover later that I've erased my multi-gnome-terminal configuration.
Now let's see. spatial nautilus ? yuk! gnome volume manager ? cool, No more annoyimh sgit when I insert a CD into the CD-ROM drive. I'll disable all of it!
Evolution can render arabic fine, That's cool. Maybe it can do this since ages, But I've never checked.
I loved the gnome net tools thing. The net monitor applet is nice and has a sweet configuration dialog to configure the network, I didn't try it though not to break my current configuration ;-)
OK. COOL, Shall I stick with gnome ? I was about to when I tried to launch an application from the menu and it didn't work, So how the hell am I supposed to know the application name to launch it ? No way, Back to pekwm.
We all love screenshots!
