Some stuff to dicsuss about

[Christopher Bratusek <nano-master gmx de>]

Hi all,

First I wanted to ask if you (Janeck) have also write-access to the rep-gtk repository.

A)

Because I would like to clean-up it. (Removing unused variables and so on) 

That's all my C skills allow me to do to rep-gtk - but perhaps a good starting point if we release
a cleaned-up rep-gtk 0.18.1 together (or a few days later) with sawfish. 

But we really need someone who takes care of it.

B)

rep-glade has not been ported to glade2 that means, that the themer is unusable. So what about
removing it from trunk - but storing it in an extra branch (eg: sawfish-themer). There's no need to ship dead stuff.

Another reason, why we need a maintainer for rep-gtk.

C)

there are some changes in GNOME-Session 2.23 therefore we need to provide a desktop file. If we users can change the
following gconf-keys and replace metacity with sawfish to have it as default WM:

/desktop/gnome/session/required-components/windowmanager
/desktop/gnome/session/default-session

Perhaps that desktop file allows us that sawfish-ui can be run from the window-manager props.

I'll investigate that and provide a patch that will add the desktop file.

D)

The Capplet might be replaced with the solution from C). If C) does not work replace the capplet 
with a desktop file for running sawfish-ui inside of gnomecc.

Either way the Capplet is not working on recent version of GNOME anymore - so it might also be removed from trunk.

What do you think?

Chris

GNOME/Sawfish rule!
