People usually use a package manager and upgrade their packages. A step in this process is to remove the old files. > However, our "GNOME Desktop" (which is basically a recommendation to > distros, and all the distros are on 2.6) only needs to work on 2.6. The BSD's have yet to upgrade to 2.6, so I'd opt for keeping the applet in gnome-applets and add a configure switch to enable or disable. It's my understanding that the FreeBSD people are getting very close to a working HAL, and when that happens the NetBSD people will probably follow closely, so it could be removed entirely in a release or two. _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
