I'm not wading into this fight too deeply, nor am trying to take this thread OT. I am currently running the GNOME3 PPA on Ubuntu 10.04 and contributing to GNOME [1]. It seems to work OK [2] now (but I am still wary of upgrades). The main differences (excluding bugs) from upstream seem to be * No gnome-panel 3.0 (blocking on new e-d-s AIUI) * Old Rhythmbox version that misses plugins * Old evolution (as per e-d-s) John [1] Porting gnome-games/soduku + goocanvas to pygobject, maintaining gnome-tweak-tool [2] There was a few incidents where crashy g-s-d got through and would only show me the fail whale and prevent login. There is also a g-s-d race condition (that bites occasionally) in g-d-m where several g-s-d instances are started and eat 100% of my CPU. I have lost the bug # for this. _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
