Well, that doesn't mean it's less of the right solution; it just means it's less likely to be solved. Though ogre seems to be the only reverse-dependency of cegui-mk2 (hmm, and it's only a build-dependency?), so if it /doesn't/ get solved, is there a reason cegui-mk2 should still be shipped in a stable release (lenny I mean, not etch)? > I reassigned the bug to cegui-mk2 because it was changed incompatibly > during the freeze.
