What you need is standard way of getting a list of UI toolkits(GTK/QT/whatever) installed. It doesn't matter what the desktop is, only that GTK is installed. Good luck with that, by the by. Even if you could somehow get Gnome/KDE/whomever to agree to implement such a thing(ha!), distros will find a way to break it somehow. _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
