Guess that's Fedora rawhide and Ubuntu you're talking about. Those are the main distributions used for gnome breakage testing by developers and end-users. Most of the developers active in the GNOME community come from either fedora/redhat or Ubuntu nowadays. I'm also looking forward of the "monkey-free" gnome desktop: bonobo has been replaced almost completely with DBUS, the only package I've seen that still uses it is evolution, which is too complex to port in just one release cycle. _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
