About a week ago I had a little conversation with Colin Walters (sorry for not posting this issue to the list...) about the future of GST in the debian desktop, it's one of the config tools candidates, but there are still many things to do before worrying about this. Obviously, I offered all the help we could provide to make GST a better candidate. > > Now I see 2 good and overlaping (see for example Date and Time > Configuration screenshots - > http://hackers.progeny.com/configlets/screenshots/screen04.png and > http://www.gnome.org/projects/gst/screenshots/time.jpg) projects - Gnome > System Tools and Debian Configlets from Progeny.

Thank you very much for your support
