I agree on all of it, it's going for user friendliness, which isn't something that always occurs in a GNU/Linux operating system.
It's hard to figure out who to contact to get it fixed, and even then to have it fixed, as it isn't a priority to many programmers. Maybe we should make a quality assurance group to fiddle around with things like this, I'd definitly join it, as it bothers me quite as well. ----- Original message ----- > The default desktop configuration in Trisquel does not include the desktop > switching panel applet.
