Did they get any estimates on the % of users that set this option before coming to that decision? IMHO the only advantage an overlapping window manager has over say a tiling window manager is in conjunction with sloppy focus. cheers, Pádraig. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list

However I notice that the output from `ps` lists the actual script name, rather than just "python". The same is true for perl. This is a worth mentioning both for the benefit it provides and the minimal chance for breaking stuff. cheers, Pádraig. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list

One loses the point of packages unless one actively minimizes dependencies between them. cheers, Pádraig. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list

To clarify, coreutils needs automake only for development, but it is nice not to have to build it as described here: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=coreutils.git;a=blob;f=README-prereq;hb=HEAD I am surprised it was pused to F9 & F10 cheers, Pádraig. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
