We could get inspiration from what KDE guys do. If the "gnome desktop" expands to any kind of applications in various fields (like it seems to be the case), we could issue metapackages like gnome-libs (gtk, gnomevfs, etc.), gnome-base (nautilus, panel, etc.), gnome-multimedia (photo management, editing and such), gnome-games (oh, this one already exists!), etc. Since we would have meta-packages and no real packages like KDE do, these "parts of the environment" could even overlap, so that a photo management application could be part of gnome-multimedia as well as gnome-photo for instance. _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
