> None of the libraries will depend or use mono. This is argument is moot and you know it - this isn't just about libra- ries, this is also about application/applets etc, like the deskbar ap- plet. While I don't have a particular issue with the deskbar applet in se, since it's in no way essential, this serves as a possible example of where your argument wouldn't hold (in case deskbar was something more essential, like say the clock or taskbar switcher). Also, your statement is false. Beagle uses mono, and it is considered for inclusion (and I really wouldn't call searching 'optional' or non- core). kr, Chipzz AKA Jan Van Buggenhout -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ UNIX isn't dead - It just smells funny [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Baldric, you wouldn't recognize a subtle plan if it painted itself pur- ple and danced naked on a harpsicord singing 'subtle plans are here a- gain'." _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
