However I have a little request that I +hope will be taken seriously. That is for the shut down button to show +by default in Gnome 3.4 in Mageia 2. + +As far as I know it isn't at the moment, I haven't tried Gnome Shell in +Cauldron just yet, since when I tried to before with Alpha 1 and 2 +issues with XFdrake and trying to get my proprietary Nivida driver +installed. + +Anyway going back on topic I strongly believe that Mageia 2's Gnome +Shell should be showing the shut down button by default, even though +like Olav and I assume Bkor as well, I would like Mageia's Gnome to stay +rather close to upstream by default at the moment. + +However it won't be using the default theme by default, in fact it will +be using a port of the KDE theme, and so I don't think having the shut +down button by default will be a problem as such. + +Quite a lot of people still want to shut down their computer instead of +suspend or leaving it on most/all of the time, and I am one of them. +There was also a 60+ year old at my LUG, that I went to for a first time +last Saturday, who was using Fedora on a lap top, who wanted to use the +shut down button. He told me how when he was new to Fedora it took him +quite a long time to find out how to shut down. + +There was quite a lot of stuff before on the web about how it wasn't +good to have to press tab for the shut down button to show in the menu. +Personally I don't mind doing that as such, but I know that many other +people will. + +Apparently Debian have the shut down button showing in Gnome Shell. Not +sure about OpenSuse, but it wouldn't surprise me if they do as well. As +for Fedora they stay very close to upstream with Gnome, so of course +it's not there by default. Fedora is also aimed at in general slightly +more technical users than what Ubuntu is aimed at for example or in my +opinion anyway. As for Mageia we should have the distro aimed at +everyone, from brand new users to Desktop Linux, to +opensource/freesoftware experts, as a result the shut down button should +indeed be showing by default in the menu. + +Apparently the extensions need re creating for Gnome 3.4 or something, +well ok, but well please let's have the shut down button showing in the +menu by default in Mageia 2. + +I can imagine a lot of new users being given Mageia on a Live CD to try +out, and trying out the Gnome version, then coming back to the person +saying something like, "yeah Mageia Gnome was good, but I had +absolutely no idea how to shut it down when I tried it". I also think +it would be a bit bad to say to these users something like "With the +Gnome Shell interface in Mageia 2 the developers of it decided to remove +the shut down button by default, so if you want to shut down you have to +press tab, to get it to show". + + From Sebastian sebsebseb + +</PRE> + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="013618.html">[Mageia-dev] Freeze push: maradns +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="013641.html">[Mageia-dev] Shutdown button by default in Mageia 2 Gnome request +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#13624">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#13624">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#13624">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#13624">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">More information about the Mageia-dev +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
