Ah, back from a long trip... good to be home... but wait!
While I'd love to say that every message I send is entirely perfect,
that is clearly not the case. And on this issue, I'd have to say that
I'm quite tired of it, and really, I think that my opinion is well
documented on the Internet.
My challenge to you is find the mail messages that document the problems
we (and others) did find through user testing and were trying to fix.
Then talk about how we didn't solve those. Or about how leaving things
exactly the same solves them. I greatly doubt that we'll go back to the
old way, because well, that's going backwards. But, no one will claim
that the situation in Jaunty is perfect.
If the GConf key is getting unset somehow, that's a bug. Please file it
in Launchpad. Subscribe me, I'll help to ensure that it gets fixed.
Finally, for those reading this thread and interested in the bug in
question it is:
