Right clicking on the menubar gives me the option to edit the menus except that the Places menu mysteriously is not offered. Also, while the System menu is offered up for editing, some of the entries that appear in the menu are not shown in the menu editing window. I am not allowed to remove any of the menus entirely either; hardly "Custom".<BR/><BR/>I tend to find the top panel troublesome on fresh installs of gnome. I find that gnome will not let me remove some things from it, so I have to remove the panel entirely then rebuild it.<BR/><BR/>I think the gnome developers have wimped out on configurability in order to make gnome simpler to use, but I find it inconsistent and headachey.<BR/><BR/><BR/>I am not even able to remove any of the menus from the menubar and some of the entries in the System menu are Also, when I remove everything fromAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27488238.post-48994658662810839352008-09-12T07:12:00.000+02:002008-09-12T07:12:00.000+02:00Actually, Gnome is more customizable than KDE.

Strange, but how can you bear KDE? Some parts of it crashed for me literally twice an hour. Both 3.5.something and 4.<BR/>Also, most actually usable & essential Linux software, like Firefox (the only browser able to show most websites for Unix) or Flash Player, Vim, etc all use Gtk.<BR/><BR/>Moreover X as such is a joke. There's no hope in implementing a responsive GUI with bitmaps sent over sockets. And if everything uses XSHM, you end up with a swapping X server.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27488238.post-9082860540033001262008-01-07T21:37:00.000+01:002008-01-07T21:37:00.000+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Imexiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03048167313488661210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27488238.post-42544199664334259872008-01-07T11:39:00.000+01:002008-01-07T11:39:00.000+01:00I've used both KDE and Gnome and haven't really de...I've used both KDE and Gnome and haven't really developed a particular infatuation with either. In ubuntu Gnome is nice because I think it gets a bit more polish from the community. I can say that Gnome suffers from bad configuration interfaces (controls are dumbed down too much or hard to find)<BR/><BR/>Anyway right now I am using Gnome and if you have desktop effects enabled you can do all the things you are talking about.<BR/>To switch between all open programs: If you have compiz effects enabled (system >preferences>appearance) then ctrl+alt+tab switches between all open applications (whereas alt+tab is just the applications in your current workspace)<BR/><BR/>To mouse between desktops: be sure compizconfig-settings-manager package is installed. Then go to advanced settings (system>preferences>advanced desktop effects settings). Enable cube rotate or if you don't want the cube rotate effect go to desktop wall and click edge flip pointer checkbox under edge flipping.<BR/><BR/>That advanced settings control gives you lots more config options for desktop behavior.

It's neither objectively better nor even the most popular one.<BR/><BR/>In case of KDE vs GNOME on the other hand, configurability is a very strong reason people prefer KDE.tawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16972845140253292628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27488238.post-55535937968784295682008-01-06T23:09:00.000+01:002008-01-06T23:09:00.000+01:00"configurable Windows is way more popular than one..."configurable Windows is way more popular than one-true-way Mac for a reason"<BR/><BR/>Are you serious? Sure, I've heard plenty of people cite that, but that's just an excuse for hating the Mac, not an actual reason.
