True, but.... 1) As far as I know, there will be no mouse gestures coming any time soon 2) Even if it does, I don't see any clear consensus that it would go into the Shortcuts applet anyway, since it could alternatively be put into the mouse applet 3) And even then, this patch could just be reverted and everything goes back to how it is in upstream > > But maybe you can propose them to help merging applets that they'd like > to see merged.

Merging keyboard & keyboard shortcuts seems to me like the most obvious and straightforward merge there is. Given that I actually have a working patch for that and I am offering to finish the patch, and there is *still* very limited upstream interest, I very highly doubt that there would be any significant interest in any other proposed merges. > Hope this helps - anyway IMHO your goal is right (TM) > Cheers :) -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
