| There's a couple of issues with moblin-applets that I'd prefer to 
| discuss before getting it into the archive. The first of these is the 
| modification of the hildon-desktop statusbar config. Shipping a copy in 
| hildon-desktop and then modifying it in the moblin-applets postinst 
| would result in a conflict every time the file changes in the 
| hildon-desktop package. Diversions work badly with conffiles, so I'd be 
| interested in opinions on how to handle this situation.

The usual way would be to make hildon-desktop have a statusbar.d with
configuration file fragments it assembles.

[...]

| A better solution would involve separation of privileges, with the 
| privileged operations being carried out by a suid backend with careful 
| validation of all input. However, I appreciate that implementing this 
| before gutsy is probably unrealistic. What do other people think?

Agreed on both counts.  Would it be possible to make it use gksu and
not modify sudoers, for now?
