The Captains of Nautilus

Posted by Hemos on from the where's-nemo dept.

GonzoJohn writes "The official GNOME filemanager Nautilus was originally developed by Eazel as part of their plan to bring usability and beauty to the Unix desktop. Today Nautilus is maintained by veteran GNOME hackers Alexander Larsson and Dave Camp. Being such a core application in the GNOME desktop it is the topic of many discussions in and around GNOME. In a recent survey on gnomedesktop.org an interview about Nautilus was at the top of the wishlist. So to let everyone get the inside scope on what is happening with Nautilus currently I got hold of Alexander and Dave for a small interview.""

    Just when I get used to KDE or Gnome, get it all working, they change it, and break it. Gnome panel used to sit on my minimal fvwm2 desktop, and worked fine, till one day it wouldn't redraw till you moused it, and with Gnome2 it just didn't have the applets I liked anymore. KD3 worked, and then all the fonts went ape with SuSE81.

    I now have fvwm2, cpuload for a CPU meter, asmix for a volume control and wmcalclock for a clock/calendar, and they're sweet, small, I can build from source in two minutes, and they work.
