Proposed changes
- Do not require password to change the time in the clock applet. See [381357]
[edit]
Old stuff (keeping for now)
[edit]
Accessibility
- openSUSE 10.3: Off
[edit]
Autostarted Programs
- openSUSE 10.3: gnome-power-manager, network-manager, opensuse-updater-applet-gnome, resapplet
- Depends exactly on the packages installed
[edit]
Background
- /usr/share/wallpapers/default-*
- Soft link to the release specific wall paper
[edit]
Beagle
- openSUSE 10.3: Enabled by default
- openSUSE 11.0: I propose to disable it by default --Captain Magnus 00:44, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit]
Default applets
- openSUSE 10.3: Main menu, Tomboy, Window List, Notification Area, Sound, Clock, Show Desktop Button
- Tomboy added specifically for SLED 10
[edit]
Fileroller
- Default create archive format: .tar.bz2
- This is the upstream default, see bug 367197 for change request
[edit]
GDM
This applies to openSUSE 10.2 and 10.3:
- Face browser: Off
[edit]
Main Menu
Default Applications 10.3: Firefox, Evolution, Banshee, OpenOffice Writer, F-Spot, Nautilus
[edit]
Nautilus
This applies to openSUSE 10.2 and 10.3:
- Always use browser (/apps/nautilus/preferences/always_use_browser) = true. We use browse mode, not spatial mode.
- Preview sound (/apps/nautilus/preferences/preview_sound) = never. We don't preview sounds when mousing over an icon for a sound file.
- Computer icon visible (/apps/nautilus/desktop/computer_icon_visible) = false. We don't show the Computer icon on the desktop. Instead, we include a patch (nautilus-drives-and-volumes-on-desktop.diff) that allows you to see icons for drives and volumes directly on the desktop as appropriate.
[edit]
Notifications
In openSUSE 10.2 and 10.3 we override the notification locations in the bubble theme to always be in the lower left and patch notification-daemon to achieve this.
For openSUSE 11.0 we should revisit this, see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=179855
[edit]
Number of desktops
- openSUSE 10.3: 1
- This is a leftover from SLED 10, where one desktop was felt it would make it easier for people to understand
- Proposed for openSUSE 11: 4
