I'm not a co-maintainer for gwrokspace.app, that's why I suggested filing a bug. Most probably there will be people who can help or at least try to locate the issue. > > the thing is you CAN upgrade to Xorg while still running the sarge > > 2.6.8 kernel, that is from testing; if you are willing to do so > > then you can update GnuStep to a recent version. Basically there is a reason why people run stable so advising them to upgrade to testing does not seem to be a good idea. Last time I tried (that was about a year ago, I think) GNUstep in Sarge was in a pretty good shape. > > but i would say that windowmaker and gworkspace both have some > > problems We would like to know about these problems, please.

The source package etoile is in Debian, but it currently builds only camaelon.app and dictionaryreader.app. Etoile is very unstable and a bit of vapourware so we have decided to postpone the whole work after the release of Etch. It's a pity that there are three efforts for a GNUstep desktop (Backbone, Etoile and GAP) and none of them is complete or at least working properly. Unfortunately, Etoile diverts very much from the original look & feel. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
