Re: State of the 'Step

Markus,

I cannot get Etoile to compile.  The one screen shot I have been able 
to find does not look like anything I want on my computer.  I am under 
the impression that it forces you into horizontal menus which I don't 
want and some theme which I also don't want, the flowers in the screen 
shot I found made me not even want to pursue figuring it out.  There 
are some interesting things in Etoile such as the idea of being able 
to use a BASH script as a service, I wish some of those things would 
migrate into GNUstep.
