My God.
It's true that in gnome they never worked, but making them work could be
useful.
However, I've just had a confirmation e-mail from a gnome developer
saying that I will never see viewports in gnome2. He has pointed me to a
discussion which I still have to read.
The only way to have viewports now is to make sawfish pager work well
(some say that it works bad) and then write a panel applet called
"sawfish-viewports-applet". Saying goodbie to consistency and usability.
And, be sure, they will have to change the GPL to avoid me or someone
else doing this OR create a new desktop environment. Too much people use
to work with viewports. I know this topic has been longly discussed so I
won't discuss it longer.
