Because it's CRAP software and doesn't work easily "out of the box" (as is most Gnome based software) and newbies shouldn't have to be forced to LEARN to do something they shouldn't be doing - and the documentation sucks and the support for GDesklets sucks and try to get a straight answer from ANYONE in a Gnome IRC channel let alone a mailing list...hence the reason I gave up on playing with GDesklets in the first place...if GKrellm doesn't do it, then frag it. I don't want it - and I don't want to hog precious system resources on something that doesn't do what I want in the first five minutes that I've installed it. Hence, CRAP and don't bother. YOU might have more patience, but I have come to rely on software that does what it is supposed to do without requiring a rocket science certificate in order to either run it or configure it. THAT is one of the major stumbling blocks in the Gnome project (for the past three years, mind you) Off my soapbox now...handing it over to Lyv or Joe.. -- stephen kuhn __________________________________________________________________ mobile 0410.728.389 GNU/Linux, GPL and OpenSource alternatives for the public __________________________________________________________________ * This message was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer * We expressly refuse to utilise Microsoft DRM encoded documents __________________________________________________________________ Mandrake GNU/Linux 10.0 OE/Kernel 2.6.3-7/ No Viruses here.
