It started out as a way to configure what happens when removable media gets inserted, and then it grew more and more unrelated tabs, which largely ask you to enter commandlines that get executed at certain times, some of them pretty nonsensical. Who needs to run something when a mouse is plugged in ?! Instead, the mouse should just work... If you check out recent rawhide you will notice that we have finally made some progress towards killing g-v-m: the configuration for automounting/autorunning removable media has moved to nautilus (see the Media tab in nautilus-file-management-properties). I hope that David will soon post some more about the really cool stuff he has been doing there together with Alex. The remaining tabs in g-v-m will hopefully become more and more unnecessary over time. A good example is our printing system, which notices new printers and does the right thing without a manually entered command.
