- Icons in menus and buttons are not shown by default in GNOME 2.28.
- In Fedora 12, a local user may install signed packages without authentication. This is a change from Fedora 11.
Not a big deal because both things can be fixed (please notice I don’t mean these are broken features, but restore the behaviour I’m used to and I like).
There are two things I’d like to mention here:
- I bet the people behind those changes are doing them with good will, with a neat rationale, and willing to make Gnome/Fedora better. The overreactions from some people are not.
- Those are defaults. You don’t need to stick to them, and everybody has an opinion about what looks better or what’s more secure.
I have an opinion too. Just stay calm and let others know what you think, respecting the hard work of other people, even when you’re convinced that they are wrong.
In other news, Fedora 12 it’s a rocking release. The upgrade didn’t work as smooth as I would have expected, but I survived heh.
Update: the authentication stuff will be fixed today, please read PackageKit policy: background and plans.
Notice that I would have liked the idea if any local logged user was any local and trusted logged user. I mean, it’s like using sudo for PackageKit, but without the user entering his password twice.
