This is definitely a bug and needs to be fixed before release. It would probably have been better for you to file a bug report when you first noticed it; that way we could have isolated the issue more quickly.
#541. Put it in a few days ago.
OK, sorry I didn't see that bug originally. I put a couple of suggestions on the bug report.
Also, what rough edges are you referring to? We would like to fix as many of those as possible prior to release.
Little, hard-to-quantify-for-a-bug-report things. Parts of the display blank out when using drop down boxes in Firefox, for example.
There are some fixes in SVN for GTK related problems; this may be fixed in the binaries shortly.
This morning, I had to restart because the Gnome desktop started to win its little fight with TDE and changed the background to the default image and all the icons to the Gnome style. Even the typeface in Thunderbird changed!
I didn't *have* to reboot, but I needed to change some stuff in the BIOS anyway.
Wow, I never heard of a desktop (Gnome in this case) behaving that badly towards another before! KDE4 does try to launch Plasma if it isn't forced into submission via dpkg-redirects, but I have no idea why Gnome thinks it has the right to seize full desktop control. :-/
Thanks for letting us know about these problems, and if you run into any more little issues please let us know here.
