Hmm, but AFAIK esd is considered a part of the Gnome desktop, same for |
| 18 |
arts/KDE. So if I (as a user) disable gnome I'd expect that esd is |
| 19 |
disabled too. Actually it's the same problem we have with categories, |
| 20 |
things can fit in multiple branches. |

Light.' And there was still nothing, but you could see a bit better. |
