Just ranting for a minute. It's taken me half an hour to burn an SD card because once the partition table is written, GNOME auto-mounts the disk while it's still in the process of being written, resulting in reliable data corruption. The only way to disable this is to install dconf-editor and change a registry setting. Why is this controlled by a registry setting and why do you need to install a separate program to edit your registry to begin with??

Why is this controlled by a registry setting and why do you need to install a separate program to edit your registry to begin with?? you don’t need a separate program if you use the cli, and it’s controlled that way because the gnome devs hate you. see also: it is no longer possible to set a loving solid color desktop background without using an image or editing dconf. this is because when the cadt rewrote the background settings pane they didn’t bother exposing that in the gui because they knew nobody used it, and they knew nobody used it because yes that is really what they do

Did gnome end up sticking with the whole "no desktop icons because we have PRINCIPLES" thing or have they done the inevitable backtracking on that

Ok, yeah that's about what I expected to hear. I remember hearing when Ubuntu dropped Unity they were going to ship Gnome instead but tweak it to be normal and sane too.

I use the gnome desktop fork on ubuntu and the desktop icons integration is trash. If I want to actually do desktop file stuff with the gui, I open a nautilus window to the desktop.

Command line is sufficient for most things. But it gets annoying when I have to use mtp to pull things off my phone, and I don't care enough about gvfs to try to learn those command line tools.

Dd doesn't run partprobe, so there's nothing for udev to pick up because the kernel hasn't refreshed the partition maps. hmmmm i think you are wrong on this, maybe it works for you because your distro has changed the default or something. in kde you'll often get the popup with the newly dd'ed device right after dd has finished, but of course that's ok because there's no auto mounting. it will also work that way in gnome if you change that default in dconf as mentioned. there must be something like an udev event firing so it refreshes the partition table. maybe it's an inotify thing that kde does, i don't know.
