Limited dev time is one reason. It can work, it can be made to work, and I am not so sure that the vast majority of the iso users are getting and burning the CDs themselves. I have burned several for others (mostly x86, a couple of ppc) and they work as expected.
It's an area that could use some improvement, agreed, but it's not a major concern, given that the PPC market is relatively small, and the subset of those who want to try Linux, even smaller. It's a note in the README would be sufficient until they can find and solve the root cause.
Have to? I hadn't noticed, can you give an example?
I don't mind the folks who actually ask the tough questions, even if they are trolling, but the ones who belittle the person answering it, or simply brush off the answer, making it rather obvious, that they aren't after info, just to rile people up, are beneath contempt.
It is the down side of being so configurable and having so many distros - a user at a minimum has to decide what distro they want - or know someone who has the...
Delete this panel? When a panel is deleted, the panel and its settings are lost.
GNOME is very good about dialogs that make sense, you will rarely see use. Also, they are position consistant, cancel (or the equiv) is on the left, continue, on the right. There's been a fair amount of work gone into GNOME on the UI issues.
Sure, run a gnome-panel. That *is* the control panel for the panel. One of the things I like in GNOME, is that stuff, as much as possible, contains it's own control panel. You don't have to go searching all over for a control panel for appfoo, it's right there. Rt click on the panel, select properties. If you want to move it to the side, grab it, and drag it there.
If you have global changes to make, they are usually made to an element, that can be isolated. Like the menu look in the breastlebars. Global across all apps, but controlled by the windowmanager.
No I mean Linux as a whole - and then, even when you do pick DE and distro, it seems that Linux is built to be more configurable. Good for the advanced user...
There's no equivilent to KDE's Control center that I am aware of, at least not any more. Some may not like that, but I do.
