Actually, I did read both links, but the biggest complaint so far seems
to be the inability to disable the "smarter way of displaying user
names" entirely, and the faces, which don't appear to be configuration
options via a GUI or otherwise...
By the time a GUI is written, that should probably have changed...
Work in progress is always interesting. As I said, and as did the link(s)
there is yet to be a GUI.
From what I read 'they' are working on this and this.
A real 'tester', gee I dislike that name, would live with the short comings of
Rawhide and deal with the problems. If you really need a GUI to setup your
system, actually *if* can only use a GUI to setup your system, you should not
really be using Rawhide. Rawhide is often broken for some reason or another.
It is not for the faint of heart.
