It was also one of the things identified by Lorenzo as providing a significant boost in speed-up time, discussed in the thread started at http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2005-August/msg00245.html. I'm hoping we can remove it, although Lorenzo also pointed out that we could achieve the same benefit by just calling xrdb with the -nocpp switch (http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2005-August/msg00266.html) -- something that would most likely work for 99% of the users of any of the apps you have in your list below. > Ben Kahn came up with a list of apps that still need this: > > acroread 5 > Emacs > Anything written in Tk (aMSN, crossover office, much corporate custom > software) > Anything written in Motif (slowly being replaced, but still a lot of > software) > Anything written in XForms (oddly, a lot of scientific software...) > Apps that ship with the X server: xterm, xedit, xclock, etc. > > Anything else? > > So, do we really want to keep around the xrdb thing in > gnome-settings-daemon?
