I think we need some migration for things which are important (fonts) and/or highly user-visible (background) at a minimum. Now if we migrate gnome-panel then clearly those scripts have to get pretty scary. So the question isn't "do we migrate or not", but "how much do we migrate". -- Colin, who long ago wrote the first bits of those scripts, but if tasked with it this time would probably write them in something better than Perl _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
