So, according to you it doesn't affect that each time a package is installed or uninstalled the system tries to find something and fails: this is a process that sure last less than a second... but Lubuntu is for old-spec hardware, so "here", "less than a second" can be a second for "other person" with older hardware (and multiplied for each package you're un/installing...). And so, everybody here knows that Lubuntu doesn't include Gnome... that's why a call for something gnome-called looks bad. The process automatically falls back to the frontend "dialog"... i'm just saying that if it's possible, this should be done by default in Lubuntu. -- >> jpxsat <http://jpxsat-informatica.blogspot.com/> >> Ubuntu user #29.157 (Lubuntu 10.04) >> Linux user #522.597
