>From my reading of your own description, most of the cool, tie-in-with-
other-bits stuff (gdm, for example) would be in the 2.10 timeframe. I
mean, we don't even have a VNC viewer- how is this different from
proposing, say, a jabber server with a gtk configuration tool? Or hell,
X+redhat-config-xfree86? Both of those things are useful servers, sure,
but it's not clear why they would belong in gnome, other than 'useful,
and has a gtk interface at some point.'

[As a side note, 'getting wider testing' is not a reason to get into the
desktop release- you should get wide testing /before/ getting into the
desktop release, so that we make sure that the desktop remains at a high
level of quality.]

P.S. Please don't take this as crapping on vino; obviously what you're
doing, Mark, especially once we have a good viewer, is really awesome
stuff that I look forward to using at home. I'm just not clear why it
belongs in the desktop now.
