I think you are missing the point. Packaging a desktop environment when the upstream has deprecated it and packaging an alternate desktop environment like XFCE which is niche but very active are very different things in terms of effort. Try building a patched version of a reasonably complicated package group, you will see it for yourself. And FYI, I am a full time XFCE user for 2 years now. I am only interested in Gnome because changes in some of their cross desktop applets are affecting XFCE. (e.g. nm-applet and packagekit update icon) -- Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
