Oh, I'm very sorry. That was by no means my intention! I'm glad you pointed this out for me, as I was not aware. All I wanted was to start a discussion about how to improve the dialog :)
I would suggest you: - For each of the independient problems you see in the software, open an independient bug in bugzilla (http://bugzilla.gnome.org). Of course, before doing so, check if exists discussion about them, and join them (browsing mailing lists would help, too).
OK, I will do that. I just thought that discussion like this was more suited on the mailing-lists, rather than the bugzilla.
- Try to avoid to say that existent software *is bad, ugly, or it makes your little sister scream*, but to directly say what could be improved, why, and how. Mockups and/or patches would improve the probability of your opinion to be considered.
Yes, I agree that my choice of words sound a bit aggressive. I did, however, write directly what I thought could be improved an why...
- If you want to provide mockups, don't do it in .glade format, but screenshots. Only provide the .glade files if you have a patch that will actually need them.
OK, screenshots available at http://joh.deworks.net/password-dialog/screenshots/
I hope you will find my suggestions useful and will find a more suitable way to start your contributions to GNOME. Remember, everyone's help is welcome, but being polite and doing it the right way is very important.
I do, thank you :) -- Johannes H. Jensen <joh deworks net> deworks
