Re: gEDA-dev: Some gschem misfeatures noted this morning (10.5.2006)

IMO, you could name the DBUS stuff "DBUS".   The normal stuff for
xgsch2pcb (i.e. my little feature requests) should just go into a
"main" branch.  Personallly I am a little wary about DBUS simply
because it requires a later versino of GTK.  We can talk about that at
great length in a different thread when I have time.  I'm not against
it, but I do worry about distro compatability/install/support issues.
Therefore, I tend to regard your non-DBUS stuff as the main branch.
THat's my $0.02.

Thanks!

Stuart
