Dear Gnome Developers,
I experience the 2.14 logoff-dialog as a step back in userfriendlyness versus the 2.10/12 version.
End-users hate decisions.
In 2.10/12 a selection had to be made but once a decision was made this selection was rememberd.
Replacing the radio-buttons with normal push-buttons results in having
to choose the desired action each-time on logoff/shutdown.
Step back.
Furthermore the logoff-dialog looks like a normal application dialog
and as such misses all attributes to indicate session-logoff or
shutdown is requested.
Step back.
Either visually clarify the logoff-dialog like Ubuntu 6.06 or revert to the radio-buttuns.
This is no improvement and I'm sure many more feel like I do.
Also, about the Disk Mounter Applet: Please revert to pre-2.10 or rip it out.
This applet contradicts almost all Gnome HIG-guides: to begin with most important guideline: being useful.
It hurts Gnome's increasing usability at a time where easy management of devices like flash-memory and music-players put-in
much weight on Desktop Experience. Especially for newbies like my grandma.
I installed the pre-2.10 version of the applet made available by John Ellis: Thanx John !
Now for the good news:
I've been using Gnome since version 1.4 and it's coming close to OS/2's WorkplaceShell.
I like it very much.
Thank you for creating Gnome and letting me use it.
Kind regards,
Rousseau de Pantalon.
