I was under the impression that when it was audited it was found to be far better than expected and I believe something like quite clean or surprising little cleanup was mentioned. Perhaps that was simply due to the expectation of GUI code to be absolutely horrific? I find it far more useful and easier to work with and control than "modern desktops" and wish modern programs went back to older config standards and used text rather than *conf rubbish and that freedesktop followed the older principles more closely when doing desktop unification features etc.. Little things like xfce launchers having random names and config (which like logs is relatively tiny) being hard to find or wanting local tools or processing binary configs when the speed gain simply isn't required and the negative sides having not been considered akin to systemd binary logging. > But regarding functionality, i would rather > call it bloated than ask for more features. Yeah, I think it has all the features required and things like gkrellm can fill any gaps. > Then again, i don't > care enough about GUIs to waste my time trying anything else. -- _______________________________________________________________________ 'Write programs that do one thing and do it well.
