I've been encouraging the GNOME 2.4 new modules discussion. Ignorance is no obstacle. We have 2 weeks left to agree. So far, I'd bet battfink, gpdf, gucharmap, fontilus, nautilus-cd-burner, and themus will be in GNOME 2.4. I have yet to try out a few more of the modules. Talk on desktop-devel-list if you have opinions or questions.
gnome-vfsmm
I thought nobody was looking at this, but Bryan Forbes and Per Kristian Gjermshus fixed up some gnome-vfsmm stuff, so I put out a new verion.
I want someone to patch regexxer to use gnome-vfsmm.
