I'll be working on the file chooser format switch from .gtk-bookmarks to a bookmark file; also, since the same format is used by gnome-panel and nautilus, I'll work on them. GBookmarkFile can already load a bookmark from $XDG_DATA_DIR (g_bookmark_file_load_from_data_dirs()), so we just need to have a standard directory layout for the files. I'll also write the installer/merger for GTK+ - unless someone beats me to it. :-) ciao, Emmanuele. -- Emmanuele Bassi, E: [EMAIL PROTECTED] W: http://www.emmanuelebassi.net B: http://log.emmanuelebassi.net _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
