Finally. That was the one thing I hated about the 2.20 release. Having a seperate window instead of a dropdown was a huge usability setback for me and many others. I'll have to compile the latest version and check it out.

It seems the only thing they really changed was forcing the window to open under the button.

Go compile it. Go test it. And go hack on it, document it, translate it, fix it."

- Im still wondering why they say "hack it, fix it". My patches and bug forms are still sitting on bugzilla, waiting for some good soul to look over them.

In case you guys are wondering:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153965

Thanks.

If you want your patches applied then you should continue to bug the maintainers.

Remember, its your job as a patch author to see a resolution to your patch (rejected or applied).

Its the maintainers job to make the decision.

Both parties must do the work Fri, 15 Feb 2008 05:56:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (nzjrs) Comments http://osnews.com/thread?301092 http://osnews.com/thread?301092 Since i down have time to test it right now, can anyone give a list of all the features removed this time?
