Hi all,
You can't *really* cleanly uninstall the default e-mail program, but
here are some
hints: (I should blog these, I guess).
[ Big *CAVEAT*: this is all at your own risk; if it breaks, you can
reflash ]
- as somebody suggested, you can create a new menu 'Unused' and move
unused icons there -- you can't delete them, but you can move them
there.
- when you update modest, you can move the icon to 'My selection', so
it's always nearby.
- you can use
gconftool-2 --set /apps/modest/is_default --type Boolean 1
to improve integration with the system -- note, this is not perfect,
but
at least some system-wide things will now prefer modest
use:
gconftool-2 --set /apps/modest/is_default --type Boolean 0
to restore the old behaviour.
For the other things, you can file 'Enhancement' bugs, and we'll have a
look at those.
Best wishes,
Dirk.
