Hello, I would like to ask the opinion of my users once again. Please answer to the following poll in this thread: 1) I like Ekiga as a GNOME application, even if it adds dependancies on GNOME 2) I would prefer Ekiga as a pure GTK+ application like GAIM, with its own configuration system 3) I don't care
There are some other tradeoffs here: the developers would surely be able to fill us in on some of them. Surely the reason for using GNOME is to simplify the code; a pure GTK+ application needs to do more that would otherwise be done in the GNOME libraries, or do I misunderstand the purpose of GNOME? If the code becomes bigger, does it become harder to maintain? On the face of it, reducing the dependencies seems a no-brainer, but there are some downsides, and it would be nice if those who know could fill us in a little. Just for the record, I use a lot of GNOME applications, so I am quite happy with the GNOME dependencies. -- Nick Urbanik RHCE http://nicku.org nicku nicku org GPG: 7FFA CDC7+5A77 0558 DC7A 790A 16DF EC5B BB9D 2C24 ID: BB9D2C24
