Today, the GNOME Project celebrates the release of GNOME 2.12, the latest
version of the popular, multi-platform Free desktop environment.

Released on schedule, to the day, it is the culmination of six months effort
by GNOME contributors around the world: hackers, documentors, usability and
accessibility specialists, translators, maintainers, sysadmins, companies,
artists, users and testers. Due to their hard work, we have another great
release to be proud of - thanks very much to every contributor!

You'll find plenty of information about GNOME 2.12 in our extensive release
notes, linked from the 2.12 start page.

Meanwhile, GNOME developers around the world are looking forward to working
on fresh new features for the next version of GNOME, due in March, 2006.

hiding extensions

Users are already used to extensions, that is a major problem (in my humble opinion) with windows where files named like nice_image.jpg.exe can trick the user into thinking it is a image. Since some files can dictate what icon should apear this could pose a serius security problem.

I love the spatial nautilus but I do not wish to have this feature.
