Are Ubuntu GUI bugs Hacker News worthy really?

  Oh boy, let me tell you the story of the GNOME file picker thumbnails.

  It's a seemingly ridiculous bug that can impact usability on the most popular Linux distro.

    It's pretty par for the course for the Gnome team. Gnome 3 had a major impact usability on every single distro, and there were many more problems following that. The Ubuntu team probably doesn't feel safe updating the Settings app without extensive regression testing.

  I posted this blog entry mostly for my own reference (I use my blog as a searchable index of all my findings, since Google is easier to use than any note taking app), and it always surprises me what makes it into HN vs what doesn't... I think in this case it may have unintentionally riled up the "Ubuntu isn't what it used to be" sensibility that's prevalent among Linux users, but I see it more as an annoying little bug that will hopefully be fixed in stable releases soon... but until then, here's the workaround.
