Re: Compiz and complexity

[Frederik Nnaji <frederik nnaji gmail com>]

well, think of what the distros are doing downstream..

Your point is interesting, regarding Ubuntu:

I see exactly that in Ubuntu, we're still on Compiz, the panel environment is being pimped with libindicator, metacity is our WM and Unity is making the nasty overlay desktop scaling focus stealing thingy unnecessary..

I'm sure it's a good start to say, Ubuntu Linux is becoming the GNOME Shell Classic.

Unless we rebrand metacity + gnome-panel as Gnome Shell Classic - no,
there won't be a different shell.

Canonical is knee deep in GNOME, so i'm not worrying about how relevant Ubuntu will become in this context..
