@Wiz10k: Also from what I understand Openbox may be killed off, if not rewritten due to Wayland !!!! That alone is reason to stop all work on any such Waylandish thingy until such time as any needs of Openbox have been seen to !!!! The Xwayland thing aggravates me as well. Backwards compatibility, blahblahblah, we'll just run an X server along with our new thingy, blahblahblah. Touch Openbox and die you IBM-borg bastids !!!
Oops, nother mid-rant poster !
Some people using their comps for "important" stuff might actually know what they're doing chief. Or they may want to put some effort into learning. I included 1,700 disclaimers and warnings, what more am I reasonably supposed to do. Figure out how to make my post text red (and make it appear to be dripping blood.) The polkit thing is stupid, it's stupid ... plain and simple. I prefer to be treated like an adult, don't need my computer deciding it gets to tell me what to do and how to do it. Arghhhh, have a lot of respecto for you Hoas but in many things we're never going to see eye to eye. You've been harping on Frankendeb's and how they're a horrible disaster waiting to happen for years. I ran Frankendebs without any problems ... for YEARS. Many of us can actually competently make our own choices and admin our friggin OS installs.
