  3. Re:X again on X.org and XFree86 Reform · · Score: 1

    X/Linux It runs very poorly in 4MB.

    I ran OS/2 in 386DX40 and 4MB ram for a while and it worked much better (even providing much better desktop than KDE or GNOME).

  4. Re:Cut-and-Paste in X beats the competition... on X.org and XFree86 Reform · · Score: 3, Insightful

    WROGN!

    That is not cut-paste scheme since you cannot cut and paste with it.

    What most people mean with cut-paste support is support for CLIPBOARD (explicit copy).

    The fact that there are two different and incompatible standards it why X people are complaining.

    We need only one standard (by default, at least) and it seems that the market has chosen it: clipboard cut-paste with Ctrl+XCV keys -- alternative standard bindings that work fine even in terminals are Shift+Delete, Ctrl+Insert, Shift+Insert.

    Flames away, but I am still right.

    Maybe they misread the documentation for MOV instruction int the intel CPU manual.

    imagine it's not based on star trek. It might be more tolerable then.

    What is really needed is root only chmod +x. Every other code should be sandboxed.

    Of course, the current UI is also MDI. (multiple documents)

    MDI sucks. I'd rather have the current UI.

  20. Re:they have this already on The State Of The GTK+ File Selector · · Score: 1

    Strictly speaking, a GUI toolkit should have nothing to do with the file system.

    So, let's just remote the file selector from Gtk+ now!

    I do this to my Thunderbird and did it to NS4 too.

  22. The problem with file selector is it's existance on The State Of The GTK+ File Selector · · Score: 2, Insightful

    A better GUI would be to have no file selector at all.

    I wonder how long it will take for everyone (GNOME/KDE) to realize that...

  25. Re:Widget Mania on Unifying GTK & QT Theme Engines · · Score: 1

    It probably means that many of those people consider bloat a big enough issue that they prefer to start from scratch. Or that GNOME is not good enough yet.

    BTW: you forgot the editor :)
