So out of an initial view of 340, we have ruled out just over 50%. The remainder may well be using customised Gtk widgets and gnome1 libraries which are significantly more work. There are probably some more that have simple replacements that have already been ported or were written for gtk2 from the start. Anyone interested, feel free to update the page with alternatives, replacements, missing packages, remove unnecessary listings . . . Alternatives are available for (nearly) all these - I've been running without gtk1 for some months and haven't missed it yet - but as the XMMS thread has shown, alternatives is a thorny issue. ;-) -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
