Hi friends,
I recently installed F12 beta, and out of curiosity installed the Moblin Desktop environment.
However i could not find any option to logout. I finally did a shutdown :) Anyone has any idea how to log out of moblin desktop
Also i tried the gnome-shell. I seems to use a LOT of memory (RAM). While on gnome shell top gave me a usage of about 150 MB resident memory for mutter, and in addition there were some more memory guzzlers. Is it normal?
Thanks

I haven't actually checked gnome-shell resource usage here, but it could be normal. It's still not release-quality code, it may not have been particularly optimized yet.

The funny thing is after i tried Moblin Desktop its even more pathetic. A stupid program coming in a combo pack (a *-orbiter and *-inspector) together guzzled up more than half a gig of memory. and i ran into swap despite having 2gig ram on my laptop. i think i'll need to get more ram before gnome3 releases :)
wait-n-watch would probably be the best policy for now :)

I did the same thing when i am despairing to logout from Mobilin.

The -inspector comes with a rpm named bickley. What i did is removing it.

Yes thats it. bickley-orbiter was the thing gobbling up ram. Does removing it affect any significant functionality? I'll also probably remove it as well. Seems to be similar to beagle or other indexers.
Does it seem to be a bug report material (No logout button i mean)

Nope.

You can find what it used to by:

yum info bickley
