I mean, what the hell, Slashdot! Serious news? On this, the holiest day of the Geek Calendar?
Seeing "support for Facebook chat, and new productivity features" in the same sentence was a pretty good start, but things just trailed off from there. I demand a punchline from this press release, or at least some enlightened puns about how to reduce the window manager's footprint!

I don't put a lot of faith in DE developers that can't fix a simple "Show/Hide hidden and backup files" problem in their file-browser. It's only been how many years?
Seriously, I set it to show hidden/backup files and tar up a directory (after checking the files) and SENT MY BOSS BACKUP AND HIDDEN FILES THAT I DID NOT WANT TO. That could have been the end of my little world!
Gnome - what a cluster-f*ck, heheheh!

I love Gnome, but is looks so outdated these days...
All the cool UIs have buttons on the left. Someone should do that for Gnome.
