Just to be clear, I'm not even talking at that level. I'd prefer to continue supporting them, but not supporting them in unity isn't so bad. Users can work around that. Or use another wm. (Maybe it just doesn't bother me bc I never much liked apps requiring the panel, since I preferred dwm/wmii) It's telling application writers that they are doing the wrong thing and that they won't be packaged in Ubuntu that I was referring to. -serge -- ubuntu-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
