PerkyPants.org: Havoc Pennington and GConf (GNOME 2.0 Status Interviews) (Sep 17, 2001, 18:00)
"For users the big benefit is dynamic, instantaneous update of
all apps when a preference is modified; i.e., it gives us
instant-apply for prefs dialogs for free, even if the setting
affects many processes. Oh, also GConf will hopefully help out with
the issue of running multiple GNOME sessions sharing a home
directory. There's more work to be done here though. Right now it
wouldn't work so well out-of-the-box because we disable CORBA
connections over TCP by default, for example."

Gnome control center capplet. If you have Gnome, and are building

rpm."

Linus Torvalds: Linux-2.4.10-pre10 (Sep 17, 2001, 02:20)
"Most of the patches are due to the continuing merge with Alan,
others tend to be fairly small. However, I'd love for VM people to
look at the page reference bit cleanups - I might have missed some
place that needs to mark something referenced, but I also know I
fixed a few places that hadn't done it right before."

Alan Cox: Linux 2.4.9-ac11 (Sep 17, 2001, 02:18)
"This is just a resync as various people work to get most of -ac
into Linus 2.4.10. Please don't resend patches - I have a lot lot
nicely queued. This is just a snapshot to keep pakrat happy and so
folks can see where it is at and double check. It might even boot -
who knows?"
