I'd heard some of this. But thanks for posting it up again.

I know this which is why I made reference to the "incorrect" Gnome in my
initial post. My point being that I think Blackbox has to get onboard
Gnome whether or not they clean up their act. Now if the powers that be
want to wait, I can see their point, but I can also see that they're not
holding their breath... which leaves us out in the cold. Sorry about the
repetitive metaphors.
I'm no expert, but my gut feeling is that things were one way with
console, motif, Gnome and KDE until Sun and HP adopted Gnome/Eazel. I
think now there's been a big shift. I mean, for Christ' sake, Sun is
dropping Motif/CDE for Gnome. I think Blackbox should support Gnome and
the just released Nautilus, and not as a third party hack, no matter how
well done.
