I don't really prefer one over the other except when one does not work, that is the case on one machine I have at home. Gnome works, KDE does not. Then alright Gnome you are the one on that machine. But I have kept quiet and I am really really really really .... (really)^n lim (really_dissapointed)^n n -> \infty with the digital clock in KDE 4.X where X is a number 1.Y, 2.Z where Y and Z are integers in KDE releasees. I really would have appreciated the old nice trustworthy (beautiful) old KDE 3.5.X series clock. The new clock is OK, but nowhere likablitiy like the old one. I know that is very little thing to be dissapointed about, but I thought that they(KDE developers) would care to put back a nice old fashioned digital clock that was there before, but it has not happened :( Other than that, things are really looking very GOOOOOOOOOOO.....D and if it were not for that complain, I would be much much much happier. I know nobody cares, but anyway I mention it and hope others feel the same way, I know of many that said f* kde and switched to Gnome/xfce/Lxde, but that is something elese :) Regards, Antonio -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
