[ Ubuntu-BD ] Hardy bitterness

[Nasimul Haque]

I never said gnome in ubuntu is unstable. I said gnome's versioning
gives clear understanding which one to use as a user and where to look
for development. Current stable version is 2.22 which is in Ubuntu or
any other distro. But the development version is 2.23, which is not
included in any distro. KDE4 should be at KDE 3.9.9.9999 not 4. That
was my point. If you want to test gnome 2.23 checkout from the CVS and
use it. That is the way to test unstable and cutting-edge software. I
actually built KDE4 on my Mac OS X before the release.

Run in the terminal following:

polkit-gnome-authorization

Now tell me what is the purpose of it.

On Mac OS X preference pane, there is a little lock icon for every
preference sheet. This icon is what the Unlock button for PolicyKit
is. Take a look at the screenshot attached. You see that my network
connections are clickable. If I need some more admin power there is
this little lock.

"dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" is the debian way to configure X
manually not by editing xorg.conf by hand. I did restore my X config
by restoring my previous backup of xorg.conf file. I am not willing to
memorize what are the options I have to write in xorg.conf file to get
my resolution back.
