Re: [gnome-love] Does gnome hate me and want me to go away?

[Ken VanDine <kvandine gnome org>]

Hi Hal,

Thanks for submitting the patch, it is appreciated.  There is a ton of
patches in bugzilla that need review/validation.  This is exactly why
the PatchSquad really needs to turn up the heat.  I will test this patch
and comment on it.  Hopefully we can get it merged.

Really... we do love you :)

Thanks,
--Ken
