It doesn't help with one of the problems I had with the existing GNOME setup: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=510800#c4 Also editing defaults.list doesn't allow for instant notification of the change for UIs, GConf allows that, makes it a pain to implement Cheers _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
