Dylan Even worse, we don't even have a definition of what a Unity application is. So upstreams can never really tell if they are excluding their applications from use in Unity and how do we determine if an upstream fits? Note that GNOME has a similar problem in that a GNOME3 app is not clearly defined (yet) so there is quite some divergence in designs. --Robert -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop

Afaik does NetworkManager currently not support the new ModemManager 0.7 API. I think that's a "must have" before we can change to MM 0.7. -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop
