you're right about the resources taken by the hidden applet, but as you see, Debian, openSUSE and Mandriva need ways to offer users a fallback, so we really need it. If there's a better solution than hiding the applet, let's use that, but can't think of a better (and quicker) way right now -- Rodrigo Moya <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
