More on the Ubuntu Jaunty Notifications Crapfest
I mentioned earlier that I had some objections to this new “Indicator” crapplet in Ubuntu Jaunty, I view it as a kind of foistware that has nothing to do with the system.
Well, it turns out the situation is worse than I thought, turns out that Ubuntu has so thoroughly screwed up GNOME’s framework that you now hav to install not only the standard components, side-by-side, but also create a new GDM session that loads the non-borked version of GNOME.
If anything, I think this goes against the whole “Community” facade, Mark Shuttleworth has given kind of an impression that he’s not some dictator over the project who uses veto power and thugs to muscle in whatever he damned well pleases. If this is the case though, there would have been some kind of vote or some Brainstorm blueprint, or at least making it appear like they care about your feedback. I voiced that the bugs this thing causes need fixed and got into an argument with one of the Yes Men.
