Which is really the entire debate here. They're enough, along with maybe a file monitoring API, to write the classic "shared Unix server desktop, complete with file manager, clock, and panel". But beyond that - enterprise (let alone consumer) laptops in particular, no way. If you guys working on DeviceKit-* are willing to have different backends, then that sounds fine. It's not a complete answer, but it fills in the massive gap that removing HAL left. If not, then we have to think about the story GNOME is going to tell here. Maybe it just ends up being gnome-power-manager isn't even added to the session if there's no DK-power, and vendors have to fill in that gap on their own, i.e. it'd be renamed gnome-dk-power-manager, and someone else could come by and add a different daemon. _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
