For users that are not paranoid about their personal data, the applet could provide them with a single point to enter it, instead of separately to every application that needs it. Granted, the amount of applications in GNOME that could use this isn't staggering, but this will hopefully change in the future when we get IM/VOIP/whatnot integrated to the GNOME desktop (when, not if ;). People who _are_ paranoid about their personal data can ignore the applet just as they ignore the fields traditional unix user accounts have (phone, room number etc). -- Kalle Vahlman, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Powered by http://movial.fi Interesting stuff at http://syslog.movial.fi _______________________________________________ Usability mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/usability
