no more icons

[Ronnie Whisler]

Did any of these "developers"  try using the trashcan panel   when the
panel has autohide enabled?  My guess is they did not.... why?  Because
it doesnt' work.... Rendering the trashcan unusable..... Also why is
this clean desktop sooooo important.... there are many many many
individuals out there using linux/xubuntu because a friend set it up
for them on their old computers..... THESE PEOPLE NEED THOSE ICONS.....
but as always the linux developers don't think about that.... then they
write articles yelling about how linux isn't gaining wider
acceptance.....  AND I simply love how this decision was made
immediately before the last release..... when everything is frozen...
if this clean desktop was so important why didn't you remove them a lot
earlier......  friggin sneaky and actually really really dumb..... your
trashcan panel doesn't work in most situations guys soooo thanks for
disabling a cool new feature for the rest of us... GIVE US A CHOICE  OR
AT LEAST SOME FRIGGIN TIME TO DISCUSS IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
