I, for one, would like to welcome our new disk management overlords. also, in reference to the gnome-utils plans I mailed to gnome-utils-list last month[1], I'd also say that gfloppy's life (or, better, the end thereof) is pretty much tied to DeviceKit-disks and gnome-disk-utility. hence, I'd love to get gnome-disk-utility as part of GNOME's desktop suite so that we can finally have a modern disk management. ciao, Emmanuele. +++ [1] http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-utils-list/2009-April/msg00002.html -- Emmanuele Bassi, W: http://www.emmanuelebassi.name B: http://blogs.gnome.org/ebassi _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
