Why dep file is not recursive?  >:( I would expect a recursive dep file for newly created extensions especially one with such a long list.

curaga:
Wow, 54m plus 120 deps? Lighter than I thought :P

Still huge.

Hmm, looks like evolution and gedit make up a part of it, would they be better as separate extensions?

Arslan S.:
this is the latest stable release, gnome 2.29.x is development series and it will be released as gnome 2.30 in a month maybe (the current release candidate is 2.29.92) till then any feedback, suggestions will help me shape next update, some may think deps are too much but there is little i can do about it :(

i tested it with a p4 2.4GHz 256Mb ram computer but this is mainly recommended for modern computers with high ram especially

anyways here is the screen shots  8)
