If so I will have no option but to implement support for it somehow. > It is not rare to find online how-to's that suggest making changes in group > membership, so I think it's not just power users that will care about this. I consider this a corner case, but in anyway most of these tutorial imply using th cli already so they will have to stop following the tutorial to do something using the GUI and then going back to the cli? That's super unrealistic imho.

Anyway, if we were already giving a GUI alternative to do everything we won't be having this conversation since I will be writing group support, but we are not. -- kubuntu-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-devel
