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.

Answers to your various questions: - we don't have special patches for this, patches have already been pushed upstream and we are just using different build options. - if we find the time to maintain it, why should you all care ? - it makes the desktop lighter, and we don't miss any key feature And finally, I don't see why this is a problem, if you really care about this, come and contribute more :) Bye, Jérôme On Jan 31, 2008 4:49 PM, Cody A.W.
