The File Manager
The File Manager The file manager, also known as Nautilus, is even faster and more stable in GNOME 2.10, thanks to changes to its internal architecture.
更快了！ 真的嗎？
* The path button is now more obviously a button.
這個 Ubuntu Linux Gnome 2.8 就有了... 還算實用。
* When creating new files, renaming starts automatically.
小改變，還算有用。
* When using keyboard navigation to open the parent folder (Alt-Up), the current folder will be selected.
不喜歡....
Window Behaviour
GNOME 2.10 has a new ability that you might not notice at first, implementing another cross-desktop Freedesktop.org standard.
In the past, while typing something into one application when suddenly your instant messenger offered a chat request from your friend, your words would be typed into the chat window. Imagine if you were typing your password at the time. This should no longer happen in GNOME 2.10.
In addition, if an application takes a long time to start, your work will not be interrupted when it finally opens its window.
小改變 ，還算有用。
Applications
Video Player
GNOME 2.10 now includes the popular Totem video player, using GNOME's GStreamer multimedia framework. Totem provides the intuitive user interface that GNOME users expect, with automatic hardware detection instead of complex configuration.
不需要 GNOME 也是可以自己裝 Totem。
Audio Extraction
我應該用不到....
Web Browser
我不用 Epiphany....
Evolution
我也用不到 我都用 webmail....
GnomeMeeting
沒有跟 Gaim 結合沒屁用.....
Control Center
略...
Panel Items
.....
The most visible change is the removal of the Actions panel menu and the addition of Places and Desktop menus. These provide fast access to the items you use most often, without navigating through sub-menus. For instance, the Places menu lists your home folder, your computer, networked servers, and the search feature. In the Desktop menu, you'll find your Preferences and Administration control panels, Log Out, and Help.
變的跟 Ubuntu 一樣....
Integrated Modem Control
還有人用 Dial up?
Panel Trashcan
也是 Ubuntu 來的 不過是 Mac OS X 先這樣的.....
Specially for laptops
略....
Removed Applets
The CD Player panel applet has been removed, so you will not see a CD player on your panel when you don't even have a CD in your drive. Instead, inserting a CD will now start the GNOME CD Player, which can then be controlled from a notification icon that it places in your Panel.
Ok...
The dedicated Wireless applet has been removed because the Network Monitor applet, introduced in GNOME 2.8, also includes wireless support.
Hmm...
The Mailbox Monitor has been removed because it was unmaintained and insecure. We hope to have a solution integrated with our Evolution mail client in the future. If you don't use Evolution for your mail, you can use a third party application such as mailnotify.
我用不到 不過有人會不爽吧.....?
Utilities
Text Editor
The GNOME text editor can now highlight the current line and when editing program source code, it highlights matching braces. Spell checking is improved too.
Nice.
Archive Manager
The GNOME archive manager can now open more types of archive, including AR, Debian, and 7-zip archives, and password-protected RAR archives. And if you use the single-click preference in the file manager, then the archive manager will now use single clicks too.
變動不大....
Dictionary
The GNOME Dictionary now suggests words when you aren't sure how to spell something. The definitions also contain links to external dictionary web sites, and the definitions can be printed.
沒在用....
Floppy Formatter
The GNOME Floppy Formatter utility now supports removable drives, such as USB drives, using the standard HAL system from freedesktop.org.
誰還在用 floppy 啊!!!?
不過 USB drives 也可也就是了。
System Administration
略...
Log Viewer
The GNOME log viewer has added a handy find feature, and an improved monitor mode. In addition, it can now
沒用過...
Games
emerge unmerge gnome-games

GNOME 2.10 使用者無法改變 Menu (Menu editing) ，因為現在 GNOME application menu 還到 freedesktop.org 的格式。就跟 GNOME 2.6 一樣無法 MIME editing。Menu editing 還沒完成，所以只好等下個 release 吧，也就是還要等六個月。 如果要 Gentoo stable 版 + 兩個月。 orz
還是下個 release 比較值得期待。 orz
