This is the back-end component for the GNUstep GUI Library. The
implementation of the GNUstep GUI Library is designed in two parts. The
first part is the front-end component which is independent of platform
and display system. This front-end is combined with a back-end
component which handles all of the display system dependent such as
specific calls to the X Window System. This design allows the GNUstep
applications to have the "look and feel" of the underlying display
system without any changes to the application, and the library can be
easily ported to other display systems.
The GNUstep GUI Backend is for platforms using the X-Window System or
Window's Systems. It works via a DPS emulation engine to emulate the
DPS functions required by the front-end system.
The GNUstep gui library is a library of graphical user interface classes
written completely in the Objective-C language; the classes are based
upon the OpenStep specification as release by NeXT Software, Inc. These
classes include graphical objects such as buttons, text fields, popup
lists, browser lists, and windows; there are also many associated
classes for handling events, colors, fonts, pasteboards and images.
The GNUstep Base Library is a library of general-purpose, non-graphical
Objective C objects. For example, it includes classes for strings,
object collections, byte streams, typed coders, invocations,
notifications, notification dispatchers, moments in time, network ports,
remote object messaging support (distributed objects), and event loops.
It provides functionality that aims to implement the non-graphical
portion of the OpenStep standard (the Foundation library).
The makefile package is a simple, powerful and extensible way to write
makefiles for a GNUstep-based project. It allows the user to write a
project without having to deal with the complex issues associated with
configuration, building, installation, and packaging. It also allows
the user to easily create cross-compiled binaries.
GNUstep is a cross-platform, object-oriented framework for desktop
application development. Based on the OpenStep specification originally
created by NeXT (now Apple), GNUstep enables developers to rapidly build
sophisticated software by employing a large library of reusable software
components.
Not connected to the build yet as this is a work in progress and there
might be some glitches.
Now that it's in CVS, hopefully more people will test this.

Gossip is an instant messaging client for GNOME. Layered on top of the
open protocol Jabber is a clean and easy-to-use interface, providing
users of the GNOME Desktop a friendly way to keep in touch with their
friends.

floating layouts. Either layout can be applied dynamically, optimizing
the environment for the application in use and the task performed. It is
the little brother of wmii.

PCManfm is an extremely fast and lightweight file manager which features
tabbed browsing and a user-friendly interface.
Some of its highlights:
* can be started in one second on normal machine
* tabbed browsing (similar to Firefox)
* drag & drop support
* files can be dragged among tabs
* load large directories in reasonable time
* file association support (default application)
* basic thumbnail support
* bookmarks support
* handles non-UTF-8 encoded filenames correctly
* provide icon view and detailed list view
* standard compliant (follows freedesktop.org)

this is the last commit to create a useable gnome 2.18.1 desktop.
we'll now focus on fixing little bugs. so stay tuned :)
Gcalctool is the default GNOME desktop calculator.
It has Basic, Financial and Scientific modes. Internally it uses
multiple precision arithmetic to produce results to a high degree of
accuracy.
- the infrastructure now uses autoconf 2.60.
- don't bother to patch libtool, we have USE_LIBTOOL across the board.
- set LIBTOOL_FLAGS to ignore static libraries by default. We will no
longer bother building arts with static libs, since arts is going to
die with kde4, and nothing hardly ever uses it now (in fact, the 3.5.7
release of arts includes no new code, only infrastructure changes)

(still some more commits coming)
Tilda is a terminal emulator taking after the likeness of many classic
terminals from first person shooter games, Quake, Doom and Half-Life (to
name a few), where the terminal has no border and is hidden from the
desktop until a key is pressed.
feedback and ok ajacoutot@
no matter what FLAVOR is used. The same should apply to the package path.
So ${FLAVOR_EXT} shouldn't be added to FULLPKGPATH.
This avoids wrong package path entries in the PLIST and bulk build errors
when using PLIST_DB.
