Re: Providing a less dramatic upgrade for LTS-users.

Hello, 2011/12/15 Jo-Erlend Schinstad joerlend.schins...@gmail.com: .. My proposal is that users who _upgrade_ from 10.04 should be presented with a Gnome Panel desktop, kept as close to the setup in 10.04 as possible. This should be very easy since most of the stuff on the panel has been

Re: Gthumb as default image viewer?
