Why should I have to blindly accept terminal commands with no guarantee the person offering the instructions know what they are talking about! Try getting understandable advice on how to get Skype to work on Mint! I am a 76 year old happy camper,willing and keen to learn.

Currently the clock, tasklist, system monitor and applicatons/places/system menus are almost useless on the 2) I would love to see a panel that hides properly, so far you can only shrink a hidden panel to 3px (I love my screen real-estate). The panel they used in KDE3 was very good at this, it hid completely and actually came back quickly (sorry gnome, your panel does not un-hide reliably). I have a 1366x768 screen and having a horizontal (see previous) panel that can only hide to 3px is REALLY annoying. 3) Could we please work with the different PIM developers to create a universal communcations system between apps. I want evolution/kmail/thunderbird to share contacts/mail/calendar/todolist and for them to all be able to show up in gnomes other apps. The clock has a cool pop-up calendar and gnome has a nice stripped-down contact viewer, but they only read evolution's info. You can use any PIM software in any desktop environment, but only the native ones integrate, why? I have experience in python, c, c++ and mysql (starting to use sqlite). I have not done very much GUI stuff (just pygtk), but if anyone is looking to work on these, I would be more than willing to help out. Ok, 3 gnome things (2 are about the panel):

The visuals make me feel in-mature, they don't feel sleek they feel distracting and clown-like. Gnome still wins it for me! I've decided today, I've had it with Vista / XP and Leopard - I'm switching to Linux. I'm sick of the crap I go through with Vista and Leopard. XP worked well, why couldn't hey simply refined it? Tiger works great, why, oh, why Leopard, blah! I love Ubuntu always have. I hope one day I'll be able to move my task bar etc to the bottom instead of top and it actually stay there.
