Sad to report that gentoo's cinnamon-1.6.7-r2 is out of date :( Arch |
| 6 |
linux installs gnome-3.8 and cinnamon-1.8.8-2, which work fairly well |
| 7 |
together but not perfectly. |

The reason cinnamon-1.8.x doesn't meet my needs perfectly is that the |
| 10 |
developers of cinnamon panel applets are lagging a bit behind. That's |
| 11 |
just the nature of open-source <sigh>. |
| 12 |
|

Meanwhile the gnome devs, damn their eyes, continue to rip out stuff |
| 14 |
that I use and depend on every day! |

Gnome-3.8 just stepped over the line by removing gnome-panel completely, |
| 17 |
thereby removing the gnome-panel applets I depend on, without providing |
| 18 |
replacements for them. Grrrr! |

Gnome-3.8 and systemd have a lot in common, I think. There is nothing |
| 21 |
wrong with either one except that they are still works in progress, and |
| 22 |
I want my gnome2 back because it did everything I need to do, and gnome3 |
| 23 |
just continues to rip stuff out. (I'm sure it will be okay eventually.) |

Thanks for listening patiently to my complaints, and have a nice day ;) |
