I don't see gnome-applets as part of GNOME 3. But it doesn't mean we cannot ship gnome-applets 3.x. GNOME 3 is about gnome-shell. Gnome-applets will always be a fallback. A fallback which includes gnome-applets would be nice. But it is a still fallback. So the statement: gnome 3 is not going to include them is wrong. I already mentioned I expect a gnome-applets 3.x during GNOME 3.2 timeframe. However, officially it will stay as a fallback. Meaning: If you want to develop something for GNOME 3, it should be an extension to gnome-shell, not an applet. -- Regards, Olav _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
