Re: [PLUG] Sea mammals (Formerly: "FF 3: back and forth buttons")

Ah! "largely horrible" - interesting choice of words :-)
I just helped a associate through an install and configuration of opensuse 11
and I'll note that "largely horrible" is faint condemnation compared to the
things that we had to say about it!
Do you know that you cannot right-click and add a shortcut to the desktop? Only
"Widgets" can be added this way. They appear to be applets - not simple
shortcuts. You cannot have different wallpapers for different desktops!!
There were so many things that were missing or "broken" that frankly we were
disgusted. I'm hoping - no, PRAYING - that 4.1 is a quantum leap BACK to 3.x
features and functionality.
The final upshot is that my associate is right now installing 10.x on the
system. It's going to a client as a workstation and he'll have to be able to
support it. Opensuse 11 appeared to be darn near unsupportable. Too bad.
Perhaps we should be pushing Kubuntu?
