Thanks Kristian for the input .. compizconfig-backend-gconf-0.6.0-2.fc8 has just been built in koji (i couldnt build it before due to waiting for libcompizconfig-0.6.0-3.fc8 to get into the buildroot) .. if we include that together on F-8 , it will be running properly on GNOME according to your plans right? -- Mohd Izhar Firdaus Bin Ismail Amano Hikaru 天野晃 「あまの ひかる」 http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MohdIzharFirdaus http://blog.kagesenshi.org 92C2 B295 B40B B3DC 6866 5011 5BD2 584A 8A5D 7331 -- Fedora-desktop-list mailing list Fedora-desktop-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-desktop-list
