Hello Brent, thank you a lot for the patch. It is important to stick to standards, but as you said not all standards are defined yet in freedesktop.org. Maybe you would be interested to join the LXDE team by engaging in this subject.
Concerning the patch: Could you please submit future patches in the tracker here: https://sourceforge.net/tracker2/?group_id=180858&atid=894871 Just add new artifact on the top right corner. Keep in touch! Best, Mario On Fri, Mar 6, 2009 at 1:50 AM, Brent McCarthy <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > > We have been using the Launcher for our Low Power Computer development > projects.
