I just thought I'd try it out, I'm a Gnome boy. <- full stop
160MB or so later it all worked fine, seems faster than Gnome on the
same machine and handles 256MB of RAM much better, but I still don't
fancy it ... yet :) Will take me a while to get used to it.
My beloved 'Debian' menu is missing and I'm staring blankly at the wall
instead of using all my normal apps too :)
The point of this email was actually to bring up a bug i noticed. The
clock, bottom right by default. The time displayed in the mouse-over
pop-up does not update. The only way to make it update is by changing
the clock type or doing some other major action on the applet. Then it
remains stuck on the same time until you do it again. The applet itself
displays the correct time however.
Anyone else noticed this?
