We need to make sure that is done (calling hal-set-property it's very easy) so that g-p-m can just use HAL reliably.
Apart from that, I'd say g-p-m is ready. Some integration work might be needed (like inhibit thing Richard added), but nothing that can't be done in the 2.15/2.16 development process. -- Rodrigo Moya <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
