When you have gconf-editor installed, call it from a terminal or through "Run application" (gconf-editor). Its menu entry isn't visible by default.

"stretch" gets me distorted perspectives. dunno what the old one did exactly, it seemed to zoom in a little bit to get rid of the black bars, but didn't touch the width-height proportions like lucid's "stretch" option does.. i'd appreciate yet another option to do that little zooming trick again ;) > >> - i'm against moving the window buttons to the left. it'll be annoying >> AS HELL, having to change a habit that's used that often. > > You can change the gconf-key controlling this.

The behaviour of some styles from the background properties has changed, which made several people unhappy. But the background preferences got a new style option: "span".

You can change the gconf-key controlling this. This was also covered on the planet how to change it again (not everyone was happy with this decision).

lucid testreport upgraded 24 march 2010 from karmic
Hi.
uhm, the upgrade process was smooth.
few bugs after startup though;
- got a usb harddisk listed with it's uuid in /etc/fstab, but lucid
wont start ("waiting for [mountpoint of said hd]") when it's listed in
that file.
funny enough it does boot, and auto-mount that disk, when i remove
it's entry from /etc/fstab.
- soundblaster doesn't work. volume levels are good, card reports no
error (in gui at least), yet no sound leaves the speakers...
- had my compiz set to put my 2 screens in a left/right, shared
desktop config. i had a desktop of 3360x1050 on which i put
single-file backgrounds that span both screens.
under lucid, my backgrounds (same file) are zoomed in and what's on
the left screen as background is duplicated on the right screen.
- i'm against moving the window buttons to the left. it'll be annoying
AS HELL, having to change a habit that's used that often.
but thanks for the effort so far :)
