Re: GNOME and PPP - suggestions for way forward

[bratsche dfw net]

The PPP applet does use the same settings. The modem lights applet
doesn't, and won't. I'd rather leave modem lights applet the way it is,
rather than moving it from gnome-core to gnome-network and making it use
libgnome_ppp. That would make it no different from the gnome-ppp-applet.
