Making this a GNOME specific thing via a comment option was sort of the concern motivating the multiple comment option question above. If this is going to start out as a GNOME specific implementation, then we run risk of having different desktops requiring different comment strings as hide hints...worst case scenario. Would this be fodder for standardization through a freedekstop discussion? On the other handing building the hiding parsing into hal somehow gives us desktop agnostic functionality. But your the expert there, so I'm assuming you've got a good reason to think the doing this at a higher level makes more sense. We'll need to make some special effort in our distributions release notes to communicate that the comment=hide syntax is actually heeded specifically in GNOME and ignored in other desktops, if we include this and want people to make use of it appropriately. -jef -- Fedora-desktop-list mailing list Fedora-desktop-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-desktop-list
