For things window managers have in common (file associations, icons, start menu), it would not be hard -- from a technical standpoint -- to arrive at a common set of mechanisms to make that happen, with older methods still supported but deprecated. For the most oart these things are established with text files, so we're not talking about splitting the atom. ;) But that's only the technical side. Politically it would be a nightmare, expecting Linux project managers to favor the goal of worldwide end-user adoption over their personal favorite way of doing things. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Media Corporation Developer of WebMerge: Publish any database on any Web site ___________________________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.FourthWorld.com Tel: 323-225-3717 AIM: FourthWorldInc _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
