There's no need to ship dead stuff. yeah - please do that yourself - that can be your first 'test' commit, to try this :) This is a modification that does not affect sawfish by itself, so no need to post a patch on wiki page first. > Another reason, why we need a maintainer for rep-gtk. > > C) > > there are some changes in GNOME-Session 2.23 therefore we need to > provide a desktop file.

To keep things clean - all patches that affect sawfish should be listed on the wiki. If they are more complicated - few commits - then instead of a copy/paste of the `diff` it should be an instruction on how to fetch the diff from somewhere to apply/unapply it. > D) > > The Capplet might be replaced with the solution from C).

If you make a patch - I hope that someone else who uses GNOME will be able to test it. Or I will try to run GNOME and see how it works. best regards -- Janek Kozicki |
