First of all I'd like to say Congratulations! and a big thank you to the Gnome team. I have only been running FC2 for a couple of days and I have noticed a zillion improvements that get the thumbs up.
But sadly I still have to bugs/problems happening on my PC...
1. Gnome Thumbnails:
When I save images from a web browser to a folder on my drive sometimes the thumbnail is not complete and only half the image is showing with the bottom part filled in with grey. I don't know if this is a Fedora or a Gnome problem. But the only way to get a full thumbnail preview is to go into the .thumbnail directory in my home folder and delete the thumbnail and refresh the folder where I saved the image.
2. Network configuration:
I have a Netgear wireless MA301/401 card which uses the orinoco_plx, orinoco and hermes modules. The card works perfect with Linux and Fedora, however I have WEP enabled and if I configure the card through Fedora GUI network interface and enter the WEP key the connection doesn't work. I have to open up a terminal, su to root and enter the WEP key manually before I can use the network. Why doesn't the GUI utility work after entering a valid WEP key??
I don't know if this is a problem with my PC but it's the only two issues I have with Fedora. Other than that it's perfect. (Except I wish the developers had made OOo & Mozilla use Gnome's new Open/Save dialogs)
On a plus side FC2 reckongnised my USB flashdrive and made it accessible, writable and foolproof immediately upon plugging it in. FC1 reckongnised it but I had a job getting it to work simply.
If the above issues are unknown I would like to report them, but I don't have a clue how to go about it.
