Bastien, please don't translate this thread into general anger. Atleast for me, it's not the case. I can certainly see the upside of it in a lot of places. As such I'm not asking for a revert, I just wanted to note that going from one end of the extreme all the way to the other feels weird at some places. But I do welcome the change (and I highly respect our usability people, consider this a feedback loop, not an attack). _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
