I thought this was supposed to be a joke..?

We probably should change to nano-tiny, because (a) it's tiny and (b)
it supports neither syntax (though it isn't modal, so maybe it's
closer to Emacs), so nobody can complain that the other syntax is
supported but theirs isn't. :-)



1) nano-tiny is bigger than ae by ~10K
2) nano-tiny has all of the library disadvantatges of ae.  It carries all
of the libraries that ae does.  The hidden advantage of elvis is that it
only carries symbols from libc and libncurses (for reference, true pico
also only carries libc and ncurses...)


...Which means:

1) The size difference is negligible.
2) It'll still fit, since it (I presume, from what you're trying to say) 
uses the same libraries as ae.


Which, combined with:

1) nano-tiny is relatively easy to use.
2) nano-tiny has fewer bugs.

...Means:

1) nano-tiny should be the base system editor of choice.
2) This thread needs to end. ;)

Marcelo,

Do *not* crosspost this to irrelevant lists. You *will* get flamed (or
worse).

Sawfish GNOME control center problem

2000-07-19 Thread Alexander Hvostov
Hi everyone,

I seem to be having a problem with Sawfish's GNOME capplets: unlike all
other capplets, Sawfish's capplets always require me to press "Try" before
pressing "OK" to actually make the changes have any effect. Otherwise,
they are silently ignored, as if I had pressed "Cancel".

On all machines other than this one, the Sawfish capplets work in the
expected manner; i.e., pressing "OK" makes the changes take effect.

I have had this problem for some time, and I now have the latest Sawfish
.debs (0.30.2). I am using Helix GNOME, and Debian woody. There are still
some packages that are out-of-date, but I doubt they will fix the problem,
since it has existed for quite a while now, and it seems specific to this
machine, suggesting a configuration problem. Does anyone know of any
configuration files that might cause this..?

Any help in figuring out this problem would be greatly appreciated. I am
not subscribed to this list, so please send any replies directly to my
email address.

Thanks,

Alex.
