Only with dbus applets, AFAIK (and hope). IIRC some work is needed on gnome-applets to port them properly to latest gtk+ (and so on). If someone bothers (I'm guessing between GNOME 3.0 and 3.2), I don't see any reason not to release a new tarball with those changes. Whether or not that is supported doesn't really matter. However, the fallback is meant as a fallback, not as providing gnome-panel and its applets. So I don't see anything wrong with not providing the applets. While at the same time, I don't see anything wrong with releasing a new gnome-applets tarball. Meaning: GNOME 3 is not gnome-panel and never will be. But if someone still hacks on gnome-applets nobody will work against them. I do hope at one point we won't need the gnome-panel fallback (quick enough software rendering or some other experience). That said, think it would be good to provide a gnome-applets which works with gtk+ 3.0. -- Regards, Olav _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
