Well, it would be legacy if mutter didn't use the legacy X11 core events for input capture ;) There's also a lot more work (in addition to using XI2 for events capture) that would need to be done if we were to remove all the key capture from gnome-settings-daemon, namely the hacks Rui has been adding for layout switching using modifier keys. So it's not as cut'n'dry as you make it sound.

I'm pretty certain they'll be able to use git to retrieve the old code. It's not like it disappears from the face of the earth. _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
