I haven't looked at the csm plugin. What configuration system is it using? Is it a new configuration system? In that case I'm curious to know why someone felt like there was a need to invent a new one. We can have 20 configuration plugins as far as I care. However, I'm not sure which ones should be hosted in the compiz repository on freedesktop.org. There's no gconf dependency. The only thing that depends on gconf is the gconf plugin. I don't see why there should be a desire to drop it, gconf is the current configuration system for the gnome platform and if you want to have compiz integrate properly that's what you would want to use. -David _______________________________________________ compiz mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/compiz
