It seems the way to get rid of icons in buttons in GNOME 2.26 has changed.
The line ‘gtk-button-images = 0′ in GTK themes does not work in GNOME 2.26 anymore.
There is now a new key in GNOME Configurator Editor. Below are the steps to disable buttons on icons in GNOME 2.26 and above.
- Press Alt + F2
- Type gconf-editor and hit Enter.
- Go to Desktop –> GNOME –> Interface
- Uncheck the key buttons_have_icons
The change will be immediate and there will no icons on buttons anymore.
This change will affect all GTK themes. Somehow this is more convenient as I need not edit GTK themes everytime.

So nice of Microsoft to add this feature in Windows 7.
Just right click on a ISO image and select ‘Burn Disc Image’, Windows 7 burns the image onto a blank disc.
No third party softwares needed.

Guess Microsoft forgot to change the Windows version here.

Disk Cleanup in Windows 7 still shows a warning about Windows Vista.
Isn’t this supposed to be changed?

works absolutely fine.
Downloaded and installed Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 and now have Windows XP running inside Windows 7 without any problems.

Finally finished downloading Windows 7 and installed it on my Dell. Went with replacing Windows Vista. :P For a Beta release Windows 7 feels far more stable and responsive than Windows Vista SP1. It even boots faster than Vista.
Some random things about Windows 7:
- The first thing I did was turn off UAC but apparently that has a side effect. Desktop gadgets cannot be used without turning on UAC. Don’t know why.
- If you are beta testing Windows 7, be sure to read this great list of 30 Windows 7 secrets by Tim Sneath. Its a seriously great article about some cool things that are present in Windows 7.
- If you are annoyed by the Send Feedback link present on all windows, use this simple registry hack from Tech Recipes to get rid of that.
- Love the desktop slideshow feature of Windows 7. Just select a folder containing wallpapers and specify a rotation interval, Windows 7 will rotate the wallpapers. Earlier people used to downloaded third party software for doing this.
- Windows 7 includes DivX support in Windows Media Player. So codec packs are not needed more.
