GNOME 2.30: Waiting for the Big Release
Another utility that has received small but telling improvements is the user-admin tool. The simplest of these is the ability to remove the home directory along with the account. Now, when you type in a user's name when creating a user, the user management tool automatically suggests a short name for the account. Usually, the short name is simply the user's name in lowercase letters and with the spaces between names left out, but the tool also resolves name conflicts by removing letters from the end of the duplicate. Even more usefully, you receive a warning if changing a password would break an encryption keyring or an encrypted directory. Other small but welcome enhancements include unlimited scrollback of the command history in GNOME Terminal, and the ability of file-roller to add support for a compression type. Although, strictly speaking, neither is strictly needed, since an experienced user can easily work around them, both are the type of small convenience that make a desktop quicker and easier to use.
