This is a lot of work and while I would like some of these widgets to go into GTK at some point, I don't expect they would as-is. Getting these into GTK would involve "doing it right," and libsexy makes use of GTK in ways that almost nothing else does. The "right way" would be to extend GTK further, but this is a longer project. notification-daemon *requires* libsexy. It can't be made an optional dependency, as SexyUrlLabel, part of libsexy, is the only way of providing a block of text without decorations that can contain inline hyperlinks. More and more applications are starting to use libsexy, and nearly every upcoming desktop distro is now shipping it. Is this really such a problem? Isn't it better to get this in so more apps can take advantage of it and push for getting it into GTK when it can be done properly? Christian -- Christian Hammond <> The Galago Project chipx86 chipx86 com <> http://www.galago-project.org The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair.
