Fundamentally, yes. However it involved making the panel one big draggable system tray kind of thing. It also involved having applets register and unregister themselves based on one of three modes. Batteries would register as hardware applets. Vincent and I decided that in the near future, we should not break compatibility with the existing panel, and as much, we've done nothing on this next generation panel besides chatted about it. Notification icons should only be used for notifications, at worst programs and certainly not daemons. Nobody wants to recreate the Windows login experience (with all the systray icons appearing while the desktop loads). --d -- 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
