Re: GtkAppChooser custom command patch

[tarnyko tarnyko net]

Hi Matthias, 

It was that kind of answer that I was asking for. 

So what you're telling me is that I shouldn't try to develop the patch any 
further, because it will never be integrated upstream, right ? 

If that's the case, I will come back to my user group with this answer. 

I think you (not personally, but taken more widely) are wrong, and that it 
does some harm here, but fair enough, it is definitely your project. 

I won't debate this again, points have already been widely made before 
(Bernhard does have some here). Personally, what I regret the most is having 
spent time writing a useless patch. It does imply something for my past and 
future-planned contributions, too. 

Regards,
Tarnyko
