This has come up before, and while it would be nice to have a more capable configuration program for compiz the current libcompizconfig is not the right solution. Ideally we would have a configuration application per desktop environment and the GNOME configurator would just talk to gconf directly, similarly for the KDE configurator. If somebody wants to write a settings manager that works with several DEs, I think the burden is on the settings manager to talk to the different configuration systems it wants to operate under. Or this could be part of libcompizconfig, so that setting managers that want to be DE-agnostic can just link to this library and not worry about the underlying config mechanism in use. The current compiz setup is compatible with the above scheme, somebody just need to do the necessary libcompizconfig adjustments. thanks, Kristiani -- Fedora-desktop-list mailing list Fedora-desktop-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-desktop-list
