Whether the design needs change or not needs to be evaluated in the context of gnome-shell, of course. This would be much easier if the development for app-indicators hadn't happened behind closed doors. Just adding app-indicators as an external dep. now without working out how they fit in the gnome3 picture does not make any sense. _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
