Re:[Re: Some general facts about panel and gnome]

[Hassan Aurag <aurag crm umontreal ca>]

 I am not sure SO uses QT but then I might be wrong. Anyway, the whole 
thing is to enable SO to plug into panel and also enable SO, in full 
view mode, to understand gnome menus and be able to launch gnome apps 
from whithin SO.

 This is an example. But in general, software makers coders should 
make themselves pluggable into major desktops, window managers. And I 
don't think this is Gnome's or KDE's or anyone else's job except to 
make sure things stay compatible so that work done by SO (as example) 
won't go to trash because new panel or menus don't understand old 
stuff.

 Now, I can't promise anything, but I might be able to have more 
influence with these kinds of things (pray for me), and I am talking 
generally!
