I tried that once, and got only old generic gnome stuff. all of the neat Ubuntu stuff was missing. As I said, I am greedy and want both. More and more applets are being ported to GTK+3 and will be available in the classic mode of gnome 3. For example with the 12.04 release you can install the indicator-applet package again, which gives you back all the nice indicators that ubuntu used to have in gnome 2 in older versions. Together with the gnome-tweak-tool there is really not much difference to how gnome 2 used to be. This list isn't about Unity design or implementation details discussion.

I guess you googled 'unity design list', but the results didn't give you a clear indication what to do. When I do that, I find http://unity.ubuntu.com/getinvolved/ which points to https://launchpad.net/~unity-design (which has a somewhat disconcerting description) which is a public list you can join, which has a ton of discussion from unity developers and others about all topics of unity design https://lists.launchpad.net/unity-design/. That would be a good place to talk about it, rather than here, which has lots of non-Unity-related people. m -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
Re: Ubuntu-devel-discuss Digest, Vol 65, Issue 3
Please don't post completely unrelated, off topic brain farts as replies to random threads. Start a new thread, with an appropriate subject, on the appropriate mailing list, and write a complete and detailed message. Or better yet, file a bug report.

Re: g++ bug on Lucid that prevent hylafax to work correctly
Hi, during two weeks nobody answered this question. Is this the wrong list? Who should I bother for this problem? Thanks, Giuseppe Il giorno mar, 27/03/2012 alle 16.21 +0200, Giuseppe Sacco ha scritto: Hi all, this is a request for help for fixing a bug in g++ compiler shipped with Lucid. The problem is shown in bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/600219 and it has also shortly reported against g++ as launchpad bug #955013. A quick summary of the g++ relevant part is also on hylafax bugzilla: http://bugs.hylafax.org/show_bug.cgi?id=941#c9 . What happens is that a pointer to an object instance is trashed during a method execution. Is there anyone that may help on fixing this?
