Actually, gnome-vfs does not require HAL to work, and not having gvm to automount things is not a major issue, especially when one has been manually mounting drives for 10 years straight. > There's no reason HAL couldn't support the BSD power interface (not > that much work), and I think someone was working on this a while back. > And also there's the question of how many cutting edge GNOME 2.15 > installs are going to be done on really old 2.4.x machines... 2.4 is not really old. And at least 2 installs will be on 2.4 boxes. Granted, gnome-power-manager won't be on either of those installs, unless it ends up with a --without-hal option that uses libapm or something for battery/power status. -- dobey _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
