Sure, I get the reason you did it, but don't you think it's a bit of a kick in the nuts for everyone else, that doesn't report bugs, just want to use enlightenment on their desktop ? And all of a sudden, they get "reprimanded" for wanting to see the weather or cpu usage ? Wouldn't it be more prudent to just give a nag when someone enables a module that's not in the list ? i.e. "Are you sure you want to enable places module ? It's unsupported and will cause E to crash. Please disable it to report bugs" etc. This way your unsuspecting user will know which modules are unsupported, without the nag on every logon ! Not to mention that this will drive off potential module creators! In any case, it's your call, I just thought someone had to at least make you think twice about it :) See the results of this poll for a refresher. http://ngc891.blogdns.net/?p=197 49 out of 73 use cpu module, so it's fair to assume that at least 67% of total users use extra modules... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
