Real users won't understand the difference between GNOME and their Linux distro as a whole. How would they? If you can see the lines between GNOME and everything else, that means the distro/sysadmin did a shitty job of integration (and the user is likely to hate GNOME because of it). -- Dan _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
