I guess I'm not so much thinking of independent systems as of different places people have to look when something's not right. XF86Config, Xft, a font server if you run one, fontconfig for GTK2, and let's not forget gtkrc, KDE, and X resources. If you want to be anal there are also all those apps that use their own font configuration, like the Mozilla-based browsers. > My remaining GNOME 1 apps continue to work fine under GNOME 2.

I'm waiting for GNOME3 to further improve usability by removing the ability to launch applications. As soon as you log in, it should just automatically start all of the applications that the GNOME developers think you should be running. After all, they're such experts on how everybody should be using their desktops. -- Michael Heironimus -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
