  22. I will be glad when it works as well as 1.4 on Nicholas Petreley Slams Gnome · · Score: 2, Informative

    Yes I would like to have a autohide task bar that worked again!!! It worked great in gnome 1.4 but in 2.0 2.2 an 2.4 it forgets to hide about as often as it remembers to. Task list grouping that worked as well as it it did in 1.4 would also be nice. If I have 30 aterms open I get 30 buttons on my task bar it compleatly ignores the "Alway group windows" setting.
    Now the real fun one is trying to change the window manager to run that has some actual functionalaty. I have used both virtual windows AND virtual desktops since well before the gnome project started and will be using the long after it is dead. Gnome used to be a desktop envirement that could be set up to work the way YOU wanted it now you have to work the way it wants. Try to use the gconf edit to change the window manager.
    step1 find setting in gconf
    step2 change "metacity" to "enlightenment" exit gconf then exit X
    3)restart x and say "WTF?" metacity started again
    4)look at gconf see it says metacity again
    5)find the file in the ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/applications/window_manager
    edit it by hand then restart X metacity starts
    6)kill X edit file change oner ship to root then chmod 644 start X again metacity is running again.
    7) kill X edit file chmod 444 the file and start X again. still metacity starts (thias time the gconf shows that it is suposed to run enlightenment.
    8) rm /usr/bin/metacity ln -s /usr/bin/enlightenment .usr.bin/metacity
    I have seen the same thing on 2 different distros(mandrake and slack) o it si not disto changes it is the normal activity of the "New Improved (we know better then you) gnome"

    I would love to see a updated gnome 1.4 (it actually worked and allowed you to have your desktop instead of one that they want you to use
