Probably the developers are porting their programs to
gtk2.0 and as this means a lot of rewriting, basic stuff
gets done first, and extra stuff gets done later...

Subject: configurablity in gnome2 seems to of vanished

Or is it just me?

Since installing Gnome2 and playing with it, it seems a lot of the
configuration options that was standard in gnome 1.4 have now all gone
or are still there, but missing _IMO_ a lot of the old options that was
present in gnome 1.4

1. For example in sawfish I can no longer find an entry in the sawfish
menu to allow me to 'automatically remember window sizes' ( I love this
as I only have a poxy 14" monitor that can do a max of 1024x768 and
opening a nautilus window nearly takes up the full screen, so in G1.4 i
used to shrink it down and lower the icons percentage and get sawfish to
remember the window dimensions, alas no more in G2.

2. I cannot find any way to alter what appears in the gnome menu, if you
click 'panel' in some of the old options are there, but as I mentioned
above most are now gone.

3. The applets are not in their own menu any more, unlike G1.4 (this is
more down to what i like than anything else)


I know, before anyone mentions, if I like Gnome 1.4, then go back to it,
but I really like gnome2, but without these options its really useless
_IMO_. the reason that are missing could be down to maybe some options I
never gave on compiling them, but I have tripple checked the configure
options and I cannot see any other options to enable there.

It looks prettier and feels more professional (but still with that cool
gnome touch!), but I feel that it has lost a lot of its configurable.
