I didn't forget it; I was only responding to the linux-2.4 part of the thread. I think the alternative OS side of things has already been addressed sufficiently[1,2,3,4,5], and given that we have other HAL dependencies in the desktop, I'm honestly quite surprised that anyone thinks that this should hold back the inclusion of g-p-m. In fact, I really doubt anyone does -- I personally don't see how the argument makes any sense and I'm guessing that it's merely being used as an excuse by those who don't like the notification-area thing. ;-) And while I can feel some sympathy for the notification-area thing, no one is trying to provide any solutions to the reasons why it is being used and I personally don't see why this should hold back g-p-m's inclusion. But, as always, that's just my $0.02 and wild guesses. :) [1] http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2006-April/msg00393.html [2] http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2006-April/msg00394.html [3] http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2006-April/msg00397.html [4] http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2005-October/msg00397.html [5] http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2005-October/msg00398.html _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
