that's a good idea, they have even a nice way to packge xfce DM :)

help you can go faster.

as i'll play soon with python-apt i can take a look on that even if i
think it could be better the smartpm stuff

i was waitin that ChipX86 released the new version , notify-daemon was
not really a good app as it was notification-deamon. now
notification-daemon 0.3.2 is out and is really cool, something has
been changed in the spec so i fixed that ... mainly it just works, but
it still needs some tests for the rules parser. i'll write some docs
about it as soon as those tests are over. Then i'll begin to code the
frontend to configure it, maybe importing modules from
hal-device-manager ... if they'll remove gnome deps .. if not i'll
write something similar :).

what about xfce-galago ? ... i think it could improve the usability,
there is a plugin for gaim that uses gnome-galago ... maybe it will
not be used in dapper but for next release i'm pretty sure we'll see
it in the ubuntu roadmap.
