Don't tell me the interface and the implementation are simplified with 4 kinds of panels instead of one, this is just a joke. It just seems to me that the Gnome developers' objectives have changed. Gnome 1.4 was a nice-looking, highly configurable desktop. Gnome 2 is designed to show a unified interface which is easily understandable for newbies and Windows/MacOS users - just like KDE. It's very good at that, but i don't think it deserves the same purpose anymore. > Please don't fork Debian GNOME. Please.

But then, what do you suggest to do *now* for people who used to have a working setup suitable for their needs and don't have it anymore ? -- .''`.
