I think I might have tried out like that +</I>><i> on both my desktop and netbook both 1GB RAM, anyway worked well like +</I>><i> that for me :). Oh sure I think it took some time to load up properly +</I>><i> in Virtualbox, but once done WOW :). However of course I wasn't trying +</I>><i> to run Blender or 3D Games or something in the vm as well. +</I>>><i> However, we may be able to keep our "GNOME Classic" session using +</I>>><i> gnome-panel 3.6.x even with gnome 3.8. This would have to be tested, +</I>>><i> though. +</I>><i> I forgot to mention in my original email that maybe both the GNOME 3.6.2 +</I>><i> fallback mode and the new GNOME Classic mode could be used in Mageia 3. +</I>>><i> Do you even use it? +</I>><i> I have used the fallback mode quite a few times, in Mageia, and even +</I>><i> the Ubuntu 12.10 GNOME Remix, however by choice I tend to run GNOME +</I>><i> Shell, if I am able to on the computer :). As for this new GNOME +</I>><i> classic mode, no I have not used that yet. +</I>>><i> +</I>>><i> Shouldn't we first fix totem, for example? It has 2 menu bars: +</I>>><i> "Videos" and "Movie/Edit/...". Then, audio files stop playing after 1 +</I>>><i> second when "visual effects" are enabled. 5.1 channel audio also +</I>>><i> doesn't work right, but the same happens in parole (vlc and mplayer do +</I>>><i> proper downmixing). +</I>><i> Personally if I am watching video on the computer it's usualy Flash +</I>><i> video on websites. If I am playing video in a player though, well then +</I>><i> that's what I am doing, I don't really care much about fancy features +</I>><i> when playing video, I just want my video to work picture and audio :). +</I>><i> Also when I do use players I tend not to use Totem, well depends. +</I>>><i> +</I>>><i> +</I>>><i> Finally, totem can't play WMA files because of ffmpeg 1.1. I have a +</I>>><i> fix for that ready (update gstreamer1.0-libav to git HEAD) +</I>><i> Uhmm I thought it coudn't play WMA unless the correct codec is used +</I>><i> since it's a proprietary format? +</I>>><i> but maybe I need to worry about gnome 3.8 instead.
