But for whatever reason, it seems a lot of people like the gtk1 client layout, which is why that client still exists and hasn't been completely replaced by the gtk2 client. So since a gtk1 layout for the gtk2 client does now exist, it would seem that once that all gets formalized and set up, there really isn't any reason that the gtk1 client couldn't get removed - people would no longer be able to say "I don't like that layout", if in fact the layout is the same. And removing that client is one less thing to support, so I think that is all good. Now maybe we just need an old X11 layout for gtk2, and then we can get rid of that client also :) _______________________________________________ crossfire mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.metalforge.org/mailman/listinfo/crossfire
