A look at GNOME 2.14 (Ars Technica)
Ars Technica reviews
GNOME 2.14. "The GNOME team recently announced another excellent
release. GNOME 2.14 includes a variety of spiffy enhancements, bug fixes,
improvements, and new features that make it the best GNOME desktop
environment ever. Already available in Ubuntu Dapper and the recently
released Fedora Core 5, GNOME 2.14 awaits your use and abuse. I've poked
and prodded it and now I'm ready to talk about it." (Found on GnomeDesktop)

mines bug Posted Apr 4, 2006 1:15 UTC (Tue) by pjm (subscriber, #2080) [Link] Can you give a URL to the bug report, so that readers can track its status and perhaps help to fix it?
mines bug Posted Apr 4, 2006 2:10 UTC (Tue) by charris (subscriber, #13263) [Link] I didn't call it a bug, Mines is just (relatively) slow and unresponsive. For all I know it is due to my usb mouse and the kernel in FC5, it could be the new X11 from xorg, it could be the fancier graphics. It does behave the same way in Dapper Drake, so that might be a clue. But if anything, it is a regression.
Closer to a bug: I can't use the file chooser to make a link to a directory on the desktop. Typing in the directory name works fine, but I can't figure out how to make the chooser do anything other than open the folder I want to link to. Maybe I just don't know how, maybe something got oddly configured, but I've had no luck figuring out how to do it so far. I can't click on the folder in nautilus to make a link either, maybe because of the protections, which might be a FC5 thing. I would be much obliged if someone could tell me how to do this without, you know, just making a link.

A look at GNOME 2.14 (Ars Technica) Posted Apr 4, 2006 5:40 UTC (Tue) by wjl (guest, #26714) [Link] Mine is running just fine hereThanks to Jordi and the Gnome team, the transition of Debian Sid is as good as done, too.

I hope so. I mean, if it's not, then nobody should upgrade! (Was the author thinking while writing this?)
