SV: [Nautilus-list] Desktop window

["Blad, John Erling" <john erling blad aftenposten no>]

I'm much more concerned with some comments about why you do this.
Is there anyone that can say anything about why the X-server has
to be restarted? And how the anti-aliasing is done?

If Nautilus only runs with TrueColor-visuals or some other special
visuals on the X-server a lot of people is going to get a lot of
trouble with Nautilus. Many people seems to belive PsaudoColor is
old fashioned and should not be unsupported but a number of
applications *do use it* and *have to use it* to work.

It is almost like saying "We don't support HPFS" or "Nautilus don't
run on AMD".

;)

Feel free to add this comment to the bug I filled (4778 I
think).
Since it's a suggestion, its weight will depend on the
number of people that demand it.
Two people is better than one, etc
