Well, I have been thinking about eventually reporting those as bugs, but I am less than enthusiastic when it comes to reporting usability bugs, especially after putting an effort to reporting or at least following several GDM > 2.20 usability bugs like the following ones:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=433649
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=451562
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=444213

which are either mostly ignored by GDM developers, or are closed as WONTFIX or DEFERRED. I think when it comes to usability reports, it is clearly a decision of the development team to make the application look like they want.

I filed your deletion bug for you (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=622386), and it was fixed within the hour:

http://git.gnome.org/browse/gthumb/commit/?id=8cbde58ed70...

Please do file gThumb bugs (in the upstream bugzilla, not the redhat one). The 2.11.x series is in active development, and feedback is both helpful and necessary.

Thanks!

I will look into gthumb usability issues after I manage to upgrade my primary workstation to F13 (some time next week). It seems that gthumb developers provide better reaction time and attitude than gdm ones :-)

gThumb 2.11.x (which is a total rewrite compared to 2.10.x) is now pretty much feature-complete in git master, and a 2.11.4 release should happen "soon".

Fixing bugs and enhancing usability are the current priorities:
