who cares? its a gtk application and works.

->        - Which is not a capplet.

so? it stil works - better than NO config options for what you had done
in gnome libs. you removed an adequate soltions wiht a void solution
that simply made peoples machines unusable. i suggest you provide a
better soltuion before providing a completely inadequate one. i had no
clue what was happening and wat borke - hell i thoguht it was my code
till i checked stuff out and found you broke imlib's caching for gnome.

->        - Which is ugly.

Well fix it - still better than your solution.

->        - Which also controls E, not the GNOME usage of it.

Imlib is the same library that has the same purpose - it has 2 apis. it
is not a gnome flunkey and exists below gnome. so are you now satying
gtk is evil because its not gnome ? what about libjpeg? sorry - imlib
exists BELOW gnome. it does not NEED to be gnome complient.

and of course every app that coudl benefit from smart caching loses
user preferences for it until each and every app turns it on by hand?
this is a horrid solution. if you think it uses up too much resources -
turn it off for yourself in imlib_config.
