Hi
Just installed the F7 T4 GNOME based i386 live cd and here are some of
my observations after playing with it for a day.
* Beagle is installed by default and replaces gnome-search-tool on
the
UI like the previous release. Might be better to keep these entries
separate.
No. Offering several different search tools in the menu is a bad idea.
Medium-term, we're hoping to see a unified frontend for the various
indexers.
* New application, system-config-selinux is available under
administration. Looks pretty comprehensive. SELinux boolean
configuration has been removed from system-config-securitylevel and is
now available in this tool. Title says "system-config-selinux.py"
instead of just "system-config-selinux" which is a minor wart in the UI.
The bigger wart is that the menu entry for system-config-securitylevel
still says "Firewall and SELinux" even though SELinux was removed...
* nautilus-open-terminal extension was not installed by default
unlike
previous live cd releases.
This live cd is just following the comps defaults here. The FC6 live cd
was following David Z.s personal preferences...
* SCIM input icon doesnt show up on the system tray unlike the
previous
test release. Default is showing on demand but setting it to show always
does not make it show up on the system tray.
You should get it by default if you are logging in in a CJK locale. For
other locales, use the "input method" capplet to turn it on.
* nautilus has crashed more than once during login including the
previous test releases with some vague bonobo error which I did not note
down. Anyone else seeing this?
File a bug ?
* Turning on desktop effects immediately makes it crash Xorg
Dito.
* shutdown entry showed up twice as first and last entries in the
system
menu just once.
I have seen this once before, but then it repaired itself. Please file
panel bug for this, too.
