Hello,

First off, DR17 rocks. I just finished compiling the sources from CVS. The
last time I used it before I built my latest workstation was almost 6 months
ago. I think that was around DR17.26. Now it's at what? 37? DR17 is really
starting to feel slick. Because of this, I really want to experiment with
using DR17 as my primary UI and keep GNOME as my preferred application
framework in places where EFL might not make the most sense (an EFL-based
word processor maybe?).

Anyway here goes:
Is there way for DR17 to "inherit" gnome-applets? I am not sure if the
applets require Metacity of if they are bound to gnome-panel could is there
maybe a DR17 applet that can act as a tray for gnome-applets?

At this point I am considering trying to run Enlightenment with a small
gnome-panel, but that seems a bit ugly as it would not remain consistent
with the rest of DR17.

Another quick question: since DR17 is aiming to become a lightweight desktop
shell, does it have a file manager so one doesn't need to use nautilus? How
does DR17 handle file associations and preferred applications? Are there any
thoughts on using a relational engine (such as SQLlite) to power DR17 file
manager and add some really slick "live queries" ala BeOS?
