Linux hurt by competing desktop environments

People are always claiming that the zillion of different desktop
environments for Linux are a good thing. Except off course, that they
are NOT.

They make it impossible for ISV's to produce good-looking graphical-UI
based commercial software that will work on *all* Linux installations.
Choice and competition are good, but not the amount we see on the Linux
platform. It's leading to duplication of effort whilst not reaching the
sophistication and easy-of-use of commercial offerings.

And Linux audio is still a mess that someone needs to sort out. Same
with printing and software installation.

What's so hard?

Write your app and include the libraries it needs.

This is what they do for Windows.

You could also use Java. Oracle does this in order to target ALL
platforms at the same time. This includes Linux, Windows and Commercial
Unix.

Well you go produce your own good-looking graphical-UI
based on commercial software that will work on *all* Linux installation
and I'll produce mine based on free as in freedom software.

Is that an out date lie flatcake? You are way way out of date!!
I haven't had a single audio issue for going 6 years now on EVERY PC

True as well. Not a single issue for *ANY* printer either going on
more than 3 years.

You must be out of touch and out of date flatcake.

Go read the Linux Hardware Compatibility List and buy from
vendors that support Linux.

Micoshaft does not write drivers for appil products and neither
does appil write drivers for micoshaft products.

But Linux does, and its a lot superior platform because of it.

Thunderbird has a simple filter. One is limited to filtering on "from",
"subject", "date", but not "message ID" or abuse field.

However, in a way it has been a blessing. New nymshifts show up right away.

Yup. IMO it limits the trolls who nymshift in an attempt
to avoid filters, to an ever decreasing choice from where to post.

nym.alias.net

Put an enhancement request in their bug tracker. Thunderbird is pretty
poorly designed internally, but adding support for more header fields
for filtering should be easy.

Poorly designed internally? FUD. Much better product than Outlook
Express will ever be, with provision and much support with many plug-ins.

What does Outlook Express have to do with the internal design of
Thunderbird? I base my opinion on watching discussion in their Bugzilla
on how to fix a bug that I reported years ago (and that others had
reported years before I found it).

Where's your proof, Tim, that Thunderbird is poorly designed internally?
The topic is about desktops, and Outlook Express is a competing product.

Frankly, I find Mozilla a superior product. Yet you state the design is
inferior. How so? Or is this your lame attempt add spreading your
poisonous FUD, which seems so obviously so.

The no longer existent "in-consequence" has been addressed quite some
time ago and has been discussed over and over again. It is very easy to
make QT app look like GTK apps and visa versa.

There are two packages available for that purpose and it's only a matter
of installing them and using them in the theme managers. Problem solved!

Schreenshots (to prove this) where posted occasionally.

Fixing that bug is a trivial change in a well-designed mail program.

Bug 41929 - can't have multiple accounts with same pop/imap server
and username, even if port is different

[quote]
Attempting to create two IMAP accounts for the same host, but with a
different
port, fails silently.

Reproducible: Always

I have an IMAP account (localhost port 143) set up as 'Work'. I use
ssh to
port-forward my home account's port 143 to 1143 on localhost. If I
try to add
another 'Home' IMAP account on localhost, the account is not added
(perhaps
because the host and port are identical?). If I add the account as
'orion',
it's added properly and I can change the port from the advanced
options.
However, access to orion:1143 via ssh forwarding does not work (it
requires
'localhost:1143').
[/quote]

Preferences for the different Linux users are stored in hidden file
~/.mozilla-thunderbird. When a user first opens Thunderbird, creates
an account, creates that hidden files and settings.

Thus, there can be multiple accounts with Thunderbird, each as an
individual user in their own session.

This particular problem is a very small one, I don't know of anyone
who has multiple accounts in the same session (unless of course,
trolls prefer it so they can nymshift - I am being facetious).

So far, it has not been considered a highly desirable fix, seeing that
it is a low priority.

It is just another example of taking a very minor problem and
amplifying it to a greater one.

What exactly does that have to do with the fact that it should be a
trivial fix?

Many people do need that functionality, and there is no good reason
whatsoever to not support it.

You have no clue what the bug is about, do you? It has nothing to do
with "sessions" or how preferences are stored. It's about using multiple
email servers, which is very common. For example, you might use
Thunderbird to read email from your ISP email account, your gmail
account, your yahoo account, and your work email account.

The bug is that if you have two different mail servers running on the
same host, on different ports, and your account on those two mail
servers has the same name, Thunderbird doesn't allow it.

It's not a preferences problem. The problem is when it is trying to
decide if two email accounts are the same, it checks to see if they have
the same host and the same user name, instead of the correct check: same
host, same user name, *AND* same port.

I saw a bumper sticker today on a small car that said in big letters

No, I understand what it is about and I stated a reason why for most it

Reason why I didn't say "yet", is that is the next evolutionary step in
Windroid evolution. It is extremely difficult to stoop to the
diminutive atomic Hadron level. For an increase in intelligence, a
lobotomy would be an improvement, to say the least.

I think Snit has already achieved that luserdom level. He has already
attained to luserdom perfection as demonstrated by his complete
reguritating the same moronic rant drivel over and over, copy and pasted
to perfection on a Macbook in less than 5 minutes over a dozen times,
real proof of a successful lobotomy.

One only need to wipe the slobber drivel off his mouth with a nappy.

That's rather the point. Someone has to go to the trouble of fixing

No. It's about having multiple profiles for the SAME ACCOUNT ON
THE SAME SERVER. This isn't about multiple email servers at all.
That's why it's such a big joke.

Undoubtedly the original design didn't account for this. It never
occured to anyone that it would be considered a valid use case.

What makes you think its one customer? It's been separately submitted at
least 23 times, according to their Bugzilla.

And it's not all that obscure. Numerous comments on the bug give
situations where people have run into it. SSH tunneling to provide
access to a non-public server, for instance. Or running two NNTP servers
on the same host to separate public groups and private groups. There are
more situations described in the comments.

The bug's been open for *nine* *years*. Changing the account key from
(user,host) to (user,host,port) should be doable without going cowboy in
that length of time, given a well designed codebase.

Wrong. Have you even tried to read the bug report and the discussion?
It is about having different accounts, on different email servers, that
are visible on different ports on the same host.

Example: organization ExampleCom runs a news server on example.com port
119 to allow the public to access ExampleCom's support newsgroups.
ExampleCom also runs a news server on example.com port 1199 for use by
employees to access a set of internal newsgroups.

Example: You have a mail server on your LAN, providing POP3 service on
port 110. You have an ssh tunnel between your mail server and a remote
mail server, tunneling port 1100 on your mail server to the POP3 service
on the remote server. The idea is that people on your LAN can access the
remote POP3 server at port 1100 on your mail server.

The problem is simple. Thunderbird uses (protocol, user, host) as its
primary key for keeping track of servers, when it should use (protocol,
user, host, port). The developers acknowledge this.
