The whole situation made quite a number of people angry, and not just because of missing "my windows won't pop back when i relog". With this, uhm, politely said, regression (at least on Ubuntu where I've been pointed to to check it), fully gnome-aware applications now simply crash when you log out of Gnome (take with a grain of salt - I didn't check if they are actually sig-terminated, or if they shut themselves semi-correctly when X server terminates, or anything deeper). But the outcome is that the next time you log back and restart your applications manually, you get a nice show of "It seems that Galeon crashed last time, It seems that Evolution crashed last time, poink, poink, poink..". Or if you have an application with unsaved changes or crunching some data, it is not able to prevent logout and it's closed (with a hammer) too. The whole situation makes one want to cry, some online discussions about it are a pretty nice evidence of that. Still you are right, I'll watch my language next time and prevent any similar slips. (And, Jeremy - I'm sorry I didn't take part in testing this particular release from MarcusCom, I've been doing it for years and somewhat grew too lazy over time.. At least you can be sure you will definitely have one tester back for 2.26 :) m. _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
