Hi,
Pleased to hear from the original author himself. Reminds me of the time
I emailed back and forth with Stroustrup on C++. I felt like Moses.

Gnome 2.0? So we have to wait until then? And if... they impliment all
that is required?

I don't think Nautilus requires anything special. I was speaking for
Gnome which will now have, for all sense and purpose (with gmc being
dropped) the Nautilus face.
I have to say I'm disappointed at some day being forced to give up BB if
I'm to use Gnome (with all its imperfections). Up to now, I'm not forced
into a choice. I just see the day when I will be unless BB does in fact
learn to live with Gnome. It will be a hard choice. Sawfish is not
Blackbox.
I appreciate your input. I appreciate the work you and now Jeff continue
to put into it. I just don't want to see us all sidelined.
Thanks.
Jonathan
