My two cents on this: a panel that treats people and documents as true top-level objects (like gimmie does) is an exciting and innovative future that GNOME should be actively pursuing. It would be a shame if this great experiment got dropped out of gimmie. [If I were GNOME BDFL, the question I would ask would not be 'should the gimmie applet be in GNOME', but rather 'how can GNOME replace the panel with the gimmie dock (and/or o-d?), and drop applets altogether in favor of widgets/gadgets/plasma-like technology.' And I'd be begging njp to make gimmie dock (and/or o-d?) as shiny as awn, but without the crack-y gnome-1.0-y prefs panel ;) ] Luis (pulling on the flame-proof suit) _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
