gnome apps

[Cody A.W. Somerville]

Wow. I'm really disappointed in the tone of your reply Jérôme. Is there any
reason you felt it necessary to be so condescending and rude? Furthermore,
could you please provide a link to either the mailing list thread or the IRC
meeting that occurred where this was discussed? Although I don't recall this
being discussed as a team , my memory can be as spotty as the next person.

As one of the Xubuntu-team members, I apologize Jani for the rude reply.

Have a nice day,

Cody A.W. Somerville
