Gnome One year ago I wrote a review of Gnome 2. Some people thought I was harsh, others thought I was fair, point is, I always write what I think and surely Gnome 2.0 didn't have the polish or stability of a .0 release. But one year has passed. Gnome 2.2.1 is out, and I must say one thing: I am starting to get impressed by the effort and the clean interface Gnome 2 is now offering. Update: Screenshots inside.

>Have they just not discovered the middle-mouse-click yet?

Not everything works that way. For example, copying objects like images. Also, I have seen apps that they won't respect the middle-mouse-click.

Yes, it is an issue copy/paste interoperability between QT and GTK+, but this is mostly because there is a bug in the application itself rather than the toolkits. However, there is an interesting point arising here: "if the toolkits themeselves allow for this bug to happen so easily to so many bugs, then the toolkits themselves lack this automation and need to be fixed". Interesting point. ;-)
