I don't think you realize what you're asking for. This is a lot more than just a few patches. You're effectively asking for fork of GNOME, just like eudev has forked from udev. GNOME forks already exist. Just off the top of my head... XFCE, Cinnamon, Consort, Mint, Mate, Kate, Unity, etc, etc. If you don't like GNOME, try one of them. -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
