Betreff: Is GNOME 2 panel still in unstable?
I'd like to keep using the panel from GNOME 2. I like its world clock,
the menu and a couple of applets.
Is this still in unstable at all? The replacement seems to be less
functional (at the moment).
Otherwise is there a compatible panel available that can use the GNOME 2
world clock?
-------
Three or four days ago testing switched from GNOME 2 to 3. Yesterday I made a backup of my Debian testing with the last GNOME 2 and today I'll restore it from the backup and lock the GNOME packages. It's not only GNOME that became an issue for Debian, I already locked tons of packages. Today I'll read about Arch Linux and perhaps I'll switch the distro. It seems today the most common distros try to become more worth than the commercial OS. Linux dinos like me might be more comfortable with Gentoo, Arch etc..
I wouldn't expect that unstable will ship with GNOME 2, while testing already switched to GNOME 3.
OT: Are there any users who like GNOME 3 or Unity? I already don't like KDE 4. I was a KDE 3 user, resp. since years i'm a GNOME 2 user, anyway, "until now" KDE 4 might be not that worth as GNOME 3 already is. Hopefully XFCE, LXDE, Fluxbox etc. will become similar to GNOME 2 without beeing that buggy as e.g. E17 is.
