Good day. > hey kenneth, thanks for your comments. if you would clarify what you find awkward about the release announcement, that would hopefully help us be more clear in the future. the deal is, im sure ALL of us would like to keep gnome2, and the current look and feel of studio (maybe tweaking a little and freshening up). however, a change is forced upon us. we basically have 3 options... 1. wait and hope that some awesome team forks gnome2 and maintains it, and keeps maintaining it in a way that fits our needs, AND get that fork to be officially included in the ubuntu repositories. 2. maintain gnome2 ourselves. 3. switch DE's we decided to go with #3. XFCE was really top of the list for us, since is is so polished, and well maintained, and not drastically un-like gnome2 in look, feel, functionality, and application support. puredyne is a very successful XFCE based, live ubuntu respin for audio production. it a bit out-dated (9.10 based) but you can get an idea of how things might be running XFCE studio *without* needing to install (puredyne runs great live). i for one would like to hear your experiences with XFCE and the ubuntustudio packages, either via the puredyne live CD, or past experience. as a team, we could really benefit from some constructive brainstorming on how to best implement the UI change that is being forced upon us. thanks > On Sat, May 14, 2011 at 9:06 AM, Mike Holstein <mikeh...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> On Sat, May 14, 2011 at 9:05 AM, Kenneth Koym <koy...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >>> Whereas I've plugged away with 10.04.02 LTS - kxstudio 64 amd and saw no >>> build up comments regarding going to xfce which I suffered with over 1.5 >>> years with no known supporters, >> >> -what did you suffer with? using XFCE? >> >>> I am a bit appalled at the sudden off course decision to suddenly jump >>> forth with an "Officially Announced" boondoggle..
