I didn't mean to make it sound that way (I guess I kind of did as far as gnome modules are concerned, but I didn't mean that there were no problems whatsoever--I specifically remembered you mentioning the problem on both Gtk2-Perl and d-d-l and I'm sure that there had to have been others affected as well). In fact, I don't even know why that happened--it predated my first contribution to the module. It's entirely possible that Anders thought libwnck had branched (since it tends to be quite a while before it does so), and those doing the releases didn't catch the change. > I'm not complaining, though.

Sorry for the pain to you both. _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
