Re: gtk+ and gtk-engines slow

Just because Mexico's schools are going to use the GNOME 
project, it does not mean that the whole GNOME system should 
be around their systems and desires. This is just my 0.02 cents. 
There are always new technologies/innovations/advancements in 
the computer world which not all countries/projects can keep up 
with. And even if there are a million computers in Mexico running 
GNOME, I'm pretty sure there are a million other computers out 
there.
Again, just my 0.02
