> You said application breakage in some weird relation to the GNOME 2 panel

Someone complained about parallel installs of GNOME2 and 3.

ebassi says that the gnome 2 libs are parallel installable so it's all good.

But then later admits that doesn't actually help that much since application functionality is often reduced/broken in GNOME3. HIS example was Banshee. But it's all the user/applications fault, not GNOME3.

I questioned the benefits of the changes that caused that breakage.

Your defense was that OMG! XMMS still works.

A true WTF. I'm not even sure why you would make the leap to XMMS.

XMMS has nothing to do with this conversation.
