Control Center Shell and libslab

[Denis Washington <dwashington gmx net>]

Hi everyone,

Thomas Wood and I wrote a few patches for the new control center 
shell(see 
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnomecc-list/2006-November/msg00002.html). 
Because 90% of the shell's internals are in libslab, the patches mainly 
or only involve changes in that library. My question now is: should we 
do this forking of SLAB (i guess at least my patch especially is one 
that doesn't fit well with SLED but makes sense in the GNOME context)? 
I'd say it would be best if we took the current libslab code and develop 
it independently from the Novell SLAB; I see no other way to really 
adjust the shell to our needs. But that's just my opinion, comments are 
really welcome.

Denis
