What is the need to rehash to death things which have already been discussed at length in another thread ? It was decided that flags wouldn't be shipped with gnome, but that the keyboard switcher could use the flags if they are installed. So what is the problem ? Distros/people which want the flags will install them, people who can't/are offended by the flags won't, and everyone's happy. Christophe
