I too am worried about the screenshots getting out of date. Just for this release the digital-clock got some serious overhaul in its looks. Now I'm not opposed to the idea itself, but I don't think this scales too well. This would need a dedicated person to review _all_ applets before release and compare the screenshots...and from experience I don't believe we can keep this up. - Martin ----------------------------------------------------------- This is an automatically generated e-mail.
