I believe you may think we did, but nobody did. The discussion is all about KDE and GNOME both being able to use the same version. Notice "being able to use", not "having to use". Perhaps you got influenced when Archaic said over on LFS-Dev something about "Gnome being held up"? I was going to correct him, as nobody said anything about GNOME being held up. I mentioned that I decided to wait and install 2.14.1 into the BLFS book, but the decision had nothing to do with an operational D-Bus/HAL. And what mechanism, if not D-Bus, tells the system that plug-in hardware has been introduced to the system? This isn't a test, I just simply don't know and am curious. -- Randy rmlinux: [bogomips 3993.32] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.2] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.6] [Linux 2.6.14.3 i686] 15:32:25 up 17 days, 22:07, 4 users, load average: 0.02, 0.07, 0.20 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
