Subject: [gentoo-user] gnome 3.6 ... and related thoughts
Date: Thu, 27 Dec 2012 22:46:35 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <50DCC1BB.4080104@xunil.at> (raw)
greets ...
today (at least in my timezone ;-) ) I saw gnome-3.6-related ebuilds
coming up on my ~amd64 box ...
I ran a backup (yes, experience ...) and emerged stuff ... so far it
runs OK.
There are changes and new features and I am still exploring stuff.
The general question: is it a bug or a feature? ;-)
for example Alt-leftclick doesn't allow me to move windows right now.
bug?

What I'd like to discuss:
how to start over for a given user? For example, I want to get rid of
old stuff from gnome-1.x/2.x or so (I think of my ~-directory, not the
overall system). Or even bigger, does it make sense to drop stuff from
all those dot-directories in ~ from time to time (e.g. at bigger
GUI-upgrades) and only keep some important ones?
For example I would keep core stuff like .gnupg .ssh .bashrc
.thunderbird (in my case) ... but I am sure there is loads of stuff to
get rid of.
Maybe most of it doesn't make a difference (hdd-space is cheap anyways)
and isn't even read anymore by recent versions of software. But maybe
some files/dirs should get dumped and forgotten.
Do you gentoo-users have any opinions on this?
Does it make any sense to re-create my main user(-dir)?
Stefan
