AFAIK, we only depend on stuff where it's possible to have a backend on non-linux platforms. As Lennart mentioned, it's the case with PA. As Andre explains, it's also the case for DK. Are there cases where this is not true? Also, if I remember correctly, in the early hal days, there was only a linux backend and people had to step up to provide other backends -- it's a similar situation today (I can understand it's probably annoying for the people who have to write those backends, btw) Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
