I have to say though, I very much like the addition of Compiz Fusion. Just install compizconfig-settings-manager from the repositories and play… the translucent cube, possibly with gears inside, is fun to show off to people who haven’t seen it in action before.

So it seems. I’m quite disappointed, that was one of the touted improvements I was most looking forward to. Ah well, they’ll get it working eventually, I’m sure.

Ubuntu’s new screen configurator is obviously useless except for the most general of cases, I already told you about my problems using it with my CRT monitor – it refuses to put it into 1024x768x85Hz, or anything that’s not the maximum resolution of the monitor at 60Hz.

I’m happy to report that Thunderbird v2 is included in this version of Ubuntu. I had to go through all the same garbage with Pidgin and the latest Off The Record plug-in though, it seems that they didn’t include the versions of anything that OTR wants.
