And on -book Bruce commented: | LOL. Yes I agree. How about: | | This switch adds support for the Window Navigator Construction Kit | libraries. I have now built gnome-system-monitor both with and without libwnck, and run the without version from a DESTDIR. I cannot see any obvious difference in the display, and the only thing I have detected is that the binary is a bit bigger when linked to libwnck. The switch was added in May last year (yes, I have been ignoring gnome packages), in r13135 when the book moved to the 3.12.2 version. At that time, libwnck was downgraded from Required to Recommended. I respect Fernando's judgement that it should be recommended, even if I cannot work out what benefit it provides. Perhaps some windowmanagers benefit from this switch ? I found that there was a bug in 3.12.2 where --disable-wnck was treated as --enable-wnck, but nothing else. In the absence of an explanation for the benefits of doing this, I'll go with Bruce's wording. ĸen -- Il Porcupino Nil Sodomy Est!
