Much as I would like that to happen, I don't think we can go quite  
that far just yet :)

What I meant is that for a lot of the *new* changes you are  
implementing for the OpenSolaris spec, it probably makes sense just to  
apply them to Nevada at the same time.

For example, updating menu item names and tooltips, setting default  
fonts, adding keyboard shortcuts, and changing certain global desktop  
settings like the default desktop icon size.  Those are all things  
that (IMHO) have no need to be different between OpenSolaris and  
Nevada, for the forseeable future.

Yes, they do matter, at least until marketing tells us otherwise :)

So you're right, we shouldn't change "big things" in Nevada like the  
default panel layout, or anything that is branded with Solaris or Java/ 
JDS logos (e.g. the login screen, splash screen, panel menu icon and  
screenlock dialog).  We also shouldn't add anything to Nevada that's  
branded with the OpenSolaris logo, like the new OpenSolaris desktop  
background.

Hope that all makes sense...

Thanks,
Calum.
