Hey!
Just wondered if anyone is using the Helix code gnome version... Does
it work good with mdk 7.2... How about menus, does it use the mdk
menuing system or does it have its own menus???
Thanks,
Patrick
Typo. Should be: /etc/X11/wmsession.d/

I installed Helix under 7.2 Beta 3 and it worked just fine. Ugg...
I say it worked just fine, the installation worked just fine. I never
actually logged into gnome or helix. I just wanted all the updated
proggies.

Well the goal is great, but if I got you right you are talking about
harrasing the Helix people until they give up. I don't like that plan...
Instead we should contact them and offer our help in converting the packages
to use the new menusystem. I assume that Helix are not refusing to do this

Dumb questions probably but (B) is highly ennoying..
