GNOME 2.20.0 beta 2 (2.19.91) has been released. “This is our eighth development release on our road towards GNOME 2.20.0, which will be released in September 2007. All new features should all be there, so your mission is simple : Go download it. Go compile it. Go test it. And go hack on it, document it, translate it, fix it.”
Gnome 2.20 is pretty stable now. I lol’d when I saw this however:
andrew@ziggy ~ $ gnome-system-monitor
glibtop: open (/home/benoit/Desktop/libgtop/cpuinfo8.txt): No such file or directory
andrew@ziggy ~ $ equery belongs /usr/bin/gnome-system-monitor

gnome-extra/gnome-system-monitor-2.19.6
/home/benoit isn’t me 🙂

Damn, that _is_ a stupid bug
The new Clearlooks colour is warmer now for the background selection rather than blue(some thought it was cold).
One of the few complaints I’ve had about Gnome is that there were getting a ridiculous amount of capplets in the control center. Hopefully distributions like Fedora will stop putting all that stuff in sub-menus like ‘personal, look and feel, internet and network’ etc. because the stock Gnome in 2.20 will have eliminated a lot of those dialogs by combining them into the same ones. Like for example under appearance you can now select background, mouse pointers, plus theme, etc. Under Ubuntu they even put the Desktop Effects as a tab there. Pretty sweet cleanup progress.
Did they fix that so it doesnt use 75% of your CPU to copy files over the network yet?
What protocol? I don’t recall it using that much when I copied it with ssh. Then again I never use anything but ssh since I don’t really copy things over to other Windows computers.
Woops. I cant believe i forgot to actually specify.
SMB protocol. using nautilus to copy from linux to windows on a drive that is connected using nautilus (not directly mounted using smb) it will use 30-40% for gnome-vfs-daemon and 30-40% for nautilus. this typically comes into play when copying large files/groups of files, 1+ gig total
celeron 3.0 processor
using gnome 2.18
gnome-vfs-daemon uses about 20 to 25%
nautilus uses about 8 to 12%
