[SOLVED] What do you like least about Ubuntu?

[arnieboy]

Ok for starters, this is not an ubuntu bashing thread.. but its just to discuss what people like least about this great distro which is probably all set to become the most popular in the next year or so.
I will start off by saying: The Ubuntu backports is a fabulous project and effort but the speed at which different softwares are updated on backports is a little too slow. thats what I like least about ubuntu. Probably a little bit more manpower can solve the problem..

DNS fadeouts and inability to change keyboard layout with LeftAlt+LeftShift.

Synaptic/apt-get does not always automatically add shortcuts to the programs it installs to the menu.

Its more a Gnome thing, but the network tool sucks in Hoary.

All the problem I have with Ubuntu are really Gnome/Nautilus problems:

- needing SMEG to edit the menus
- not being able to double-click open .php files
- other partitions not seen unless they're put in the /etc/fstab file
- numlockx needed just to have numlock turn on by default

Of course, KDE does have all these things, but I don't like KDE--it kind of hangs on my computer, for some reason. I also like Gnome's theme installation is a lot easier and more consistent.

if KDE started using the gtk2 engine I would probably start using KDE too (lol)

I was disappointed by the intial lack of a menu editor for gnome 2.10--it made me miss 2.8, fast!

Smeg is a good stopgap; I'm hoping gnome 2.12 will completely rectify this idiotic omission.
