Re: [Gnome-print] Re: making gnome-print gnome independent

Hi Rodrigo,

        Of course, the title of this message is slightly wierd :-) we 
can't be 'gnome independant' and call ourselfs gnome-print :-) the name   
GNOME doens't imply any GUI luckily.

        Good good, gnome-db sounds better and better.

        Gnome-print will be splitting the GUI setup / preview widgets from
the core rendering infastructure shortly anyway.
