Gnome Here is a list of usability issues concerning GNOME. "Some time ago I decided to note everything that didn't make sense to me while using Hoary/Breezy with GNOME, or what I thought could be implemented better. I found the time to go through the list again, clarifying somt things and writing some use cases where each problem applies. Some of these might seem very nitpicky, but details are important too."

Member since:

Or you simple drag whatever you want to the "taskbar" and hover over the evolution, wait a little, and voila it opens up and you can continue to drag. In fact, it works just like windows ;) I see no reason what so ever to screw with settings people don't want changed because they are very used to them and probably like them. It's like the spatial natilus. I never want that, I promise you. I was extatic to find that you could keep browsing in the same window when I got win95 after being an avid Amiga user for many years prior. Do why would I want the old behavior brought back when I hated it so?

Same here, I rather see user education. Why not a "I'm learning mode" which simply pops up stuff like "If you want to switch to another app, do this" when the user drags around aimlessly? Much better than screwing with peoples settings and ways to work.
