I'm not sure I'd think of looking for Sound here... it's one of those comfort preferences that I'd personally kind of expect to find beside screen resolution, fonts and themes. Not sure about Remote Desktop in here either, but it depends what the definitive category list turns out to be I guess. (I also think Remote Desktop would be better named Desktop Sharing or something... keep meaning to file a bug about that.) Cheeri, Calum.

Certainly hard to find a good catch-all word, though[1]. I like very much current* distinction into Preferences and Administration. It's incredibly easy to explain for someone new to GNOME: * Preferences are for settings relevant to current user * Administration settings impact all users of machine So GST properties are user ones, as proxies, preferred apps, sessions. In other hand, changes to power management, boot order, services (remote desktop) are affecting all users. It would be nice to retain this separation and do not mix categories. * Seen at last in FC5, Ubuntu 6.10 and FRG 2.16. -- Tomasz TorczFuneral in the morning, IDE hacking [EMAIL PROTECTED]in the afternoon and evening. - Alan Cox pgpBQqom2hrcI.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
