    Poll: Re: Do you want a new theme for Ubuntu 9.04 ?

    Interesting. It's exactly this kind of push that Gnome needs.

    I hate to make this comparison, but take Explorer as an example. Microsoft aren't afraid to make UI, and to an extent, usability...

    Poll: Re: Do you want a new theme for Ubuntu 9.04 ?

    Yes. It's stagnating.

    Here's a question though... How much of this is to do with Ubuntu, and how much is Gnome the real problem? I prefer Gnome to KDE or any other DE/WM, but it basically hasn't...

    Poll: Re: Do you want a new theme for Ubuntu 9.04 ?

    No, I don't want a new theme... I'll decide for myself which theme I'll use from the hundreds of options already out there.

    As will the rest of us.

    But imo Ubuntu needs to do something to...
  6. Re: Firefox 3 out, scrolling on facebook still slow as a snail

    I had problems with Facebook making my processor max out, causing the site to appear to run really slowly. I tracked the cause down to the latest RC of Flash. Going back to the old Flash 9 solved it...

    [all variants] Re: Conky Exaile Python Script

    This is nice. I have a problem when there is nothing playing. It will just display "Unknown", which isn't really very nice. Is there a way of making it display nothing at all if Exaile is running?

  12. [ubuntu] Re: Why oh Why does Xorg hate my browsers so?

    I'm using the old Intel i810 driver, so you can rule out any driver issues.

    I'd just like to reiterate that going back to Flash 9 completely solved this for me.

  14. [ubuntu] Re: Why oh Why does Xorg hate my browsers so?

    After a bit of playing I've found that by using NoScript to block Facebook, Xorg settles back down to a reasonable level.

    I loved Exaile, but for some reason it's not working for me anymore. Just hangs on "loading database...." :(
