We could use some help on the control center applets. In particular:

 - We are busily rewriting the file types capplet and merging it with
the url properties capplet, as I outlined in a previous message to
desktop-devel-list. I will be committing the changes shortly and some
help in getting that work done would be much appreciated.
 - We would like to merge wm-properties in to default-applications and
add a file manager selector, but we are running out of time to do so.
 - ...and there are yet more tasks

If anyone would like to help with these things, please let us know, and
I will send more detailed notes. Thanks.

the riddle of death, with a view to overcoming death. That's why people
discover mathematical infinity and electromagnetic waves, that's why
they write symphonies.
