Movable Type: January 2010 Archives
It's a funny thing, but some of the problems I have with the display when I use Movable Type in Firefox/Iceweasel go away when I'm using it in the Epiphany Web browser that ships with the GNOME desktop environment.
The funny thing is that I'm in Debian Lenny, and that means I'm running Epiphany with Gecko, the same rendering engine that Firefox/Iceweasel users, and not Webkit, which is the engine in Google Chrome and newer versions of Epiphany.
Why do I run Epiphany whenever I can instead of Firefox? For uses where Firefox is not absolutely required to make the given Web site or Web-based app work, or where I'm not using the Web Developer and Firebug add-ons for Firefox, I prefer Epiphany because it's faster and uses less CPU.
Having Epiphany work so well with Movable Type is one of those little bonuses.
That brings me to GNOME. The GNOME environment and many of its applications (Epiphany, the Nautilus file manager, Gedit, gThumb, and a bunch of others) just seem to suit the way I work.
It'd be more "cool" to use Xfce or maybe KDE (or Fluxbox or Fvwm), but I just seem to have a better experience in GNOME.
