Package addition proposals



Here's the final round of packages I'd like to propose adding to GNOME
1.4. I know it's way late, but these are definitely ready and can be
included in the release without undue impact on other apps.

* xalf

This allows launch feedback for applications, which has long been a
major UI problem with GNOME. It works nicely and the maintainer wants
it included.

* sawfish

Nearly everyone uses sawfish with GNOME, and it's by far the window
manager with the GNOME integration. It's the de facto default GNOME
window manager, let's go ahead and make that de jure. Sawfish depends
on rep-gtk and librep. I suggest we include rep-gtk in GNOME, but not
librep, since including language bindings is in GNOME tradition, but
not including langauge implementations. However, we should put librep
in the same area where we have libgif and libdb and the like -
libraries needed for gnome that users might not already have, but
which are not part of GNOME per se.

Barring objections, these will be included in GNOME 1.4 Beta 1.
