GNOME 2.21.91 has been released. “This is our second beta release on our road towards GNOME 2.22.0, which will be released in March 2008. your mission is simple : Go download it. Go compile it. Go test it. And go hack on it, document it, translate it, fix it.”
I just noticed that the deskbar applet was fixed a couple of weeks ago. 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.
I’m curious to know how gnome-do compares to deskbar applet. http://do.davebsd.com/
The new deskbar has the option of not being a floating window anymore which is nice but I would also like to have the ability to have the search box in the panel again like it used to be instead of just a button. It seems the only thing they really changed was forcing the window to open under the button.

– 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:

Thanks.
I really do feel sorry for you, but ranting here has no positive outcomes, only negative ones. 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
Since i down have time to test it right now, can anyone give a list of all the features removed this time?
