I don't know if I ran out of time or chickened out, or what but I don't remember why I didn't switch them. However, in the mean time upstream has done some work on gpaint and I think it's worth looking at before tossing it out. If it's not buggy gpaint is probably better to go with as it's been in Edubuntu for a long time and is a GNOMEy app. -Jordan -- edubuntu-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/edubuntu-devel
