I think the workaround is in gtk, and I also think that managing fonts should be a desktop manager work, so lxde should have a font manager. But I would put this in "low priority". > - ACPI already has a bunch of scripts that are read to react to > events.

Thos actions should be configurable from the desktop manager, too. Maybe a system-level daemon but controllable from the GUI, through dbus, or something similar. I think it is a lot of work, so this too could be low priority. > - Evolution is a great project, but it's big and full of extra > features that many won't ever need.

What Ogley says is integrating in a panel applet the calendar notifications of evolution. You don't need to depend on the full evolution for this, but only on evolution-data-server. I remember pimlico is already interfacing to it, and using only e-d-s eith lightweight applications (todo, calendar, etc.), and a new lightweight software is being written to use only mail. There could be a "third party applet" to do that. > - Automount is IMHO not the task of a desktop environment. pmount, hal > and udev are designed for this kind of task. I don't agree. The desktop file manager should react and inform the user that a new device has been attached. I think the gnome-volume-manager has nearly perfect support for this. I love to be able to configure every operation for every type of hotplug device. This (together with gvfs) should be high priority, because, IMHO, keeps a lot of people away from LXDE (me included... :/ ) Just my 2 cents... :) Bye. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge This is your chance to win up to $100,000 in prizes!
