Couldn't agree more.. Coming from a redhat and mandrake world, when I first installed a desktop on my gentoo system, a while ago, I was so pleased by the way it looked compared to the customized KDE / gnone installation on some other distro.. Then I discovered that this was actually the default desktop :) Although, I must say that some work needs to be done in the desktop area.. A working menu system would be great... Adding missing menu entries just after merging an application is a pain, especially since non-techies often consider an application to be installed if they see the icon, and not-installed when they don't.. juste mes 2 cennes :) -- Cedric -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
