I don't think Vincent was surprised, or he really shouldn't have been: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=654970#c2 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=654970#c3 Michael didn't comment on this issue in this thread.

It's also about removing 3k lines of code that lived in the wrong place in the stack for all these years (it was in gnome-panel before).

It worked for 4 distros. It can work for those 4 again with little work. /Bastien, looking forward to removing support for fallback mode _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
