Ah, I see. So "main" then for the onion component model.

Right s-r-e uses PyGI, but it still talks about GNOME's screen
resolution applet which is long gone. So perhaps that stuff already
went away, and the package description is just outdated?

I was more concerned about nvidia-settings itself, that still uses the
old pygtk2 stuff.

Thanks,

Martin
