Well, from what i have heard, gnome has some great aspirations, but a lot of bugs right now. When my friend right-clicks before doing anything else, it crashes unfailingly. And i've had some very frustrating problems with it on linux. That's one of the reasons i switched to freeBSD/windowmaker... stability. jcm On Mon, 4 Oct 1999, Tony wrote: |I see many screenshots from the Linux community where people use this glorified |toolbar but from my experience, it's most reliable feature is creating .core |files. | |I've compiled and recompiled this port from the ground up several |different times over the past 9 months and I never can seem to find the |functionality of it.
