Would it be possible to add a wraper for gqview that translates the gtkse options to the respective gqview option so gqview can completely replace gtksee? You could add an echo 2 Warning: gtksee is orphaned, use gqview instead to get people to change. Just an idea, Goswin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

I think quite a clear case. Since it still works, I would not do the wrapper thing Goswin suggested: the people who are not affected by the bugs just go on using gqview, the ones who are annoyed will just look for another image viewer. ~$ apt-cache search image viewer | wc -l 44 (that list contains a few strange entries, but you'll still have 10 or more to chose.) cheers -- vbi -- Do not use that foreign word ideals.

Removing gtksee package
Hi, I intend to request the removal of the gtksee package from the archive. So let me explain why. I adopted the package in July 2004 and had a pretty active assosiation with the upstream author. During the time upstream authors absence became more and more frequent and after some time he mailed me and told me that because of private problems he is probably not able to do be upstream maintainer any longer. After this I haven't heard anything for a while now. The package is in a fairly good state but has some annoying bugs [1]. So I played a bit with gqview which seems be a good replacement. It has all features gtksee has and a bit more. Nonetheless a few people are still using it. So I requested for adoption which I think would be still possible with a maintainer who can also do a bit of upstream maintaing. So what do you think should I request a removal or wait for an adopter?
