GNOME developer Jordan Petridis has submitted the code to remove middle-click paste behavior from GNOME defaults, which he considers "an X11ism." The merge request concludes "Goodbye X11." </p>Jan 08 14:38
schestowitz[TR2]                                                <p> It's not just in GNOME – he's additionally filed bug 1747207 against Firefox, also proposing to remove this behavior. There, he says: [...] </p>Jan 08 14:38

schestowitz[TR2]<p>Ah, KDE 1. I remember it well. I was there, back in the beta days of the original KDE desktop, and it was exciting. All of a sudden, Linux wasn't under the thrall of CDE and Fvwm95. We had something modern on the horizon, and it looked to be special.Jan 08 17:08

KDE 1 was light-years ahead of what the Linux desktop had been, and there was nothing that could top it. Jan 08 17:08
