GNOME 2.6

I gave in. I have been using XFce4 for about five months now, but GNOME 2.6 is just so nice. I will most likely reneg that statement sooner (or a lot later), but for now, it is better then XFce4. Reasons? Oh, I have them. A usable desktop (icons), don't need two damn panels, only one. Greater selection of applets. Better/more themes. Nautilus is really nice also, my icons are screwed at the moment (Debian Experimental package).

Oh, and today is my 19th birthday. I am waiting on all the stuff I bought last week still, I better get it ALL this week. Also, my iPod is broken it would seem, have a shipping package coming for that now also.

Ahh, so I'm not the only one

Ahh, so I'm not the only one who seems to have the icon troubles. Here's hoping they remedy that one. ASAP

Using experimental Debian packages, capplets/capplets-data installs now and seems to fix the issue. Still a few things being held back, nothing major though. gnome-font-properties however crashes on me.
