Ok,
Let me see if we can push through this...
Certainly ~/Desktop is a better solution than ~/.gnome-desktop... no
one is arguing against that. I personally love having $HOME as my
desktop, but there can be a compromise. As long as we keep a Gconf key
that let's you use $HOME as desktop I'm fine with ~/Desktop being the
default.
A lot of this seems to deal with interop... which personally doesn't
effect me or a lot of others on here. I only use Gnome, have since
pre-1.0... I don't even have Qt installed on my system. I don't care
what other desktops do, it doesn't effect me. But I do understand that
it effects others. So, we can allow distro's to pick the default and
the advanced user to pick their own. The Gnome-only end user distro(s)
that MArk and I have discussed could easily set the Gconf key by default
and delete the ~/Desktop directory without causing problems.
Is that a reasonable compromise?
Dan
