I've never used the USE_GNOME stuff, so I don't object to removing it. But since I don't set this macro, I also don't really care what's happening to the code in those #ifdef blocks... >> I'm personally no longer using either GNOME or CTWM so [...] > > I don't understand. What is this "no longer using ctwm" thing? ;p Well, now that Windows 10 is shipping with a "virtual desktop" feature, there is no excuse for any of us to still use ctwm... ;p But seriously, I wonder how many active users are left. For me, copying over my historically grown .ctwmrc and .xsession files is still one of the first steps after setting up a new box. So I'm definitively happy to see some activity on this list. But OTOH, I never was concerned with prolonged phases of no activity at all. Some people nowadays seem to declare projects "dead" if there are no commits for 3 months or so. But I really like the "if it ain't broken, don't fix it" attitude much more. -- Dr.-Ing.
