Hi,
Some initial spots/impressions of Fedora Core Test 2.
- Doing a workstation install but de-selecting the games section, still
leaves you with kdelibs being installed.
- Grub boot screen still has messy layout.
- Graphical boot is much faster - Nice! :) Still doesn't look too
appealing though.
- Beep when graphical login appears is just bloody annoying, but
I could live with it! :)
- Main part of Gnome panel goes black for around two seconds when
loading up. This never affected the same crash test dummy box with
RH 9 or Severn beta 1.
- 'Desktop' folder in 'home/username' under Gnome 2.4 is a pain because
it's case sensitive. Not everyone uses upper case in directory naming
and the ability to rename it 'desktop' or even hide it would be nice.
- Desktop icons way way spread - see:

Cleaning up by name does not rectify this problem. :(
- Alot of the apps when started maximised have a problem in the top
right corner of the screen - see:

- 1 pixel wide notification area on panel is well known about!
- 'Add/Remove Applications' still doesn't work for installs.
- Mouse console services shutdown permanently fails at shutdown/reboot.
- 'md: Recovery thread got woken up' - This thing seriously needs
a line of it's own. :)
I'll keep my powder dry on Gaim bugs as I think Havoc will soon
rawhide 0.69.
Regards
Phil
