I know this was beaten to death (and quite a bit beyond) previously, but I never did figure something out: what is your aversion to all things gnome? There are some gnome apps that are quite tightly coupled to the gnome environment and so pull in lots of libraries when used outside of gnome but there are others that are really just GTK apps that happen to have gnome in their name because they were aimed primarily at gnome users (and a continuum between the two extremes). Ubuntu does a lot of things very well. Xubuntu exists to modify Ubuntu a bit to make it fit a different niche. What to change and what to use from base Ubuntu is a Hard Problem and I'm sure you could give useful input but simply repeating "Gnome is evil" and predicting the downfall of Xubuntu if any apps are included with gnome in the name is not very productive. ________________________________________________________ Robert McWilliam [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.ormiret.com Learn from your parents mistakes: use birth control. -- xubuntu-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-devel
