standardized on *what*, precisely? GNOME Shell *is* Mutter; the fact that it's implemented as a plugin is the result of the fact that Mutter was/is also used by other platforms (Moblin, MeeGo Netbook). Mutter is an extensible, Clutter-based window manager; it can be extended using a specific plugin to provide a user shell on top of it - but the window management part (i.e. the boring part) is common. there's nothing to standardize. ciao, Emmanuele. -- W: http://www.emmanuelebassi.name B: http://blogs.gnome.org/ebassi _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
