Obviously there was a lack of communication here on my side, sorry. My idea was to ask in the first run, if people could agree in the removal of the hierachical structure, without any patch. But then I thought, I should try it out first, if I can get it done and if it works at all, before pushing it to the public. My outcome to this bug was then a ready patch, without any info about it works together and that my tests were successful and why. Sorry, issue on my side. I'm not good in that apparently. Additionally, this all could mean, that the task-desktop package could go away completely, but I did not check that. Holger -- Sent from /e/ OS on Fairphone3
