I am very much being quoted out of context here. I like the direction in which Deskbar is headed. It combines lots of GNOME technology in such a way that it is indeed a powerful tool. It also serves to replace an existing, dying piece of technology: mini-commander. Deskbar offers features that give us a cut above other desktop environments that don't have a feature like this. It is innovative, and exciting. It happens to be a little bit slow, but I'm sure that will improve as more people use it. It just so happens that a lot of Apple's technological innovations as well as Microsoft's (yes, they do have them) are also a little slow. We are not instantly requiring everyone to have 22MB more RAM. We are requiring interested people to have 22MB more RAM (or 11MB if they were previously running mini-commander). In short, I am excited about Deskbar. It has more of a home in the desktop than mini-commander does. It serves my goal of making gnome-applets more clean (by allowing mini-commander to be deprecated) and incorporates technology exciting to the future of GNOME. -- Davyd Madeley http://www.davyd.id.au/ 08B0 341A 0B9B 08BB 2118 C060 2EDD BB4F 5191 6CDA _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
