Several problems with i18n observed in 2.0 are solved and the desktop feels much better than old 1.4.x (speedier, more integrated, more eye-candy etc). Therefore I really think that it would be a good idea to have it as a default GNOME for 4.8. What do you think? In the meantime it is probably worth to start thinking about gradual decomissioning of old 1.4 bits and pieces, at least desktop components, that aren't required for proper functioning of 1.4 "legacy" applications. -Maxim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-gnome" in the body of the message
