i am really beginning to hate the new slack 9

first of all, the xkb rules have totally changed. in the last version, when i used "bg" for XkbLayout everything worked fine. Now it doesnt want to write in english. so i have to use "us,bg" however, now i cannot switch to another virtual terminal, nor can i change the resolution with the ctrl_alt_+ and the ctrl_alt_-.

on top of that i have no idea how to change the gtk+1.x skins.
gtk+2.x totally sucks. it seems to display like crap on anything other than gnome, (and on top of that, enlightenment wasnt included, so i had to build it myself). also gnome 2 doesnt appear to use anything but TTF fonts, so i have to hunt down some cp1251 ttf fonts.
and what the hell is with the new gnome control center. (yeah i know, this is not a slack problem, but still). could they make it less functional. sure, nautilus from 8.1 crashed like a bitch, but it's options were way more.


sorry about that, just venting, but some of these problems are really pissing me off.

Nothing of all you written has to do with Slackware Linux. These are just new versions of programs and environements.

Dunno, but I love Slackware 9.0. Everything's fine and work well.


Btw: You can still install GTK 1.x

it's installed by default. i wanted to know how to change the skin.

I can't say that I've had a single problem with 9.0. Some of the package features have changed...but Slack is still awesome.

i make my installation without GNOME packpages...

really should i make a GNOME dislikkers Club
