Post #154,587 by ben_tilly 5/11/04 12:50:56 AM Reply	I still want to know why Gnome integration caused my mess My experience described at [link\|http://use.perl.org/~btilly/journal/18678\|http://use.perl.org/...lly/journal/18678] was not very fun. I still don't know why fvwm is now catching regular errors looking like, (galeon-bin:561): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL : file gobject.c: line 1319 (g_object_ref): assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed - but that error says bad things about someone's software quality. I can't be the only person who likes simplicity and reliability? Apparently people like me just don't have an itch to scratch when it comes to the desktop world, and so don't get heard. :-( Cheers, Ben To deny the indirect purchaser, who in this case is the ultimate purchaser, the right to seek relief from unlawful conduct, would essentially remove the word consumer from the Consumer Protection Act - [link\|http://www.techworld.com/opsys/news/index.cfm?NewsID=1246&Page=1&pagePos=20\|Nebraska Supreme Court]

Post #154,591 by bepatient 5/11/04 1:25:17 AM Reply	Heh. I'm perfectly willing to accept that you don't like it. But even you would be hard pressed to call it bloatware. Its entire footprint is probably smaller than that pig of a glorified Windows Explorer copy, Nautilus. And yes...I realize it was a flame, ya puke! ;-) If you push something hard enough, it will fall over. _{Fudd's First Law of Opposition} [link\|mailto:bepatient@aol.com\|BePatient]
