I've been talking to a guy from IRC and he's been working on sending the ubuntu nm-applet patches upstream, so that's will hopefully be there soon too. We are not getting rid of Xembed now, we'll get rid of it for e20 (this means current master in git, but that too, doesn't have to happen now). This means that we still have time to get things fixed in the relevant upstream projects. As I've said before, the best advice I could give you, is to pester the upstream projects to add appindicator support, and mention that many other desktop environments have made the switch too, this means, it's not an enlightenment issue. Furthermore, if their package is big enough, Ubuntu is most likely patching it, and no upstream project likes to be patched. :P -- Tom. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!
