Ok.

Well, thanks to LXDE team! It's a great initiative in the current context and for accessibility of free software and Linux in general. I understand what thread you refer to, but I don't feel concerned just now. > > There is a lot of good will and good intentions, but we are all just > getting started.

That's why I want to do tests. I also would like these improvements to be shipped in major distros, hence my question about the releases. Finally, to test, I think more and more (from my gnome experience) that the best way to help is testing the source as designed by devs, before any distro-specific packaging. That's why also I wanted to test the source, then have info to see chances to see these improvements in standard distros, then dev status to help as I've always done: testing and documenting and promoting. I've been somewhat discuraged for some months with gnome3 and other out-of-computing issues, now I try to come back in community and help, what I do with some virtualization soft help and a support to a distro. So I only start my support, I hope not being discuraged. > Something that I suspect is not included in the Sonar version of > LXDE is magnification.

Excellent. But will this work be shipped someday in Compiz-Cusion? The dev of Compiz doesn't seem very active, am I wrong? > My apologies in advance for being a little blunt earlier.

As gnome is more and more weird for me and hard to compile, I really hope xfce/lxde will bring actually some alternative. Thanks very much to dev. Let's test and see what exists today.
