Users can't vote in bugzilla, so you have no idea if it's only 1 person, or 90% of the users the ones who want some configuration. And there's many things you can do if you realize people desperately need more options; like enabling votes in bugzilla, a poll, an ideatorrent, etc. Or do you want to go ahead, assume people need more options, build a list of possible ones, and ask in the survey which ones they prefer? -- Felipe Contreras _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
