I don't know if GConf has some special considerations, but it seems
like the best way to solve this problem is to symlink the files from
their own Program dir into GConf's Program dir (or wherever they try
to go). Then when you delete the program, all that's left behind is a
broken symlink, which (
While we're on the subject... UpdateSettings probably shouldn't:
- ask you whether to update settings when there are no files in
either the Default *or* the active Settings folder
- ask whether to update settings when you just installed the only
version of the program and thus the Settings folder
If nothing else, please add a bunch of commented-out lines to the boot

I like this idea. Preferably something that can also be specified on
the Kernel command from Grub as a safety feature, like the BootTheme

stupid entry in BootU

As a user, I am in favor of this sort of patch. Any program
functionality that doesn't require su should be exposed to regular
user accounts if possible, even if you can't think of why someone
might want to use it without the su functionality.
Anything else reminds me how silly the /sbin distincti

As Lucas said, the rule might have a syntax error. I found the syntax
has changed since the first time I used Udev on Gobo, so even copying
a rule that used to work is not guaranteed. Try running udevtest on
/dev/fuse: it should try to parse all the rules in /S/S/udev/rules.d/

Looks great

Thanks, Lucas. That will definitely lower the barrier to upgrading to
the latest version of their drivers periodically.
I have a question: does this represent a change in policy that Recipes
can now be used to download and install binary-only apps? Despite the

Here's the steps I would take:
1. Download the recipe with 'GetRecipe [ProgramName]', which will
unpack it in /Files/Compiles/Recipes.
2. Create the file /F/C/R/[ProgramName]/[Ver]/Resources/Description by
using another recipe as an example, and enter whatever description you
like.
3. Move the Rec
I think this proposal is coming too close to "reimplementing a
database in a filesystem." The point of using the filesystem should be
to *avoid* having a special central construct just for tracking
dependencies (or whatever). Ideally, there should just be one method
of storing the dependencies for

I had to fix those permissions in 013 as well. It's not the only bug in
