Re: samba files

No Problem - but I am not really a xmms developer, I only sent a patch 
to this mailing list recently and subscribed to it to see what is going 
to happen with this patch.
My coding skills are somewhat limited, too. I only create some patches 
for programs sometimes which add some minor features. My patch for xmms 
does only add a command-line option to reload the current skin, which is 
useful for people who want to be able to change the look of their 
desktop with one single click :)

But don't worry - generally it is _very_ easy to get in contact with 
developers in the open source world.
