I thought I just point people here to my article on the use of SVG in the desktop. It summarizes the work we have done are and are doing with utilizing SVG in the Linux/Unix desktop: http://www.osnews.com/story.php?news_id=6460
Great article, thanks! I mainly use KDE, but perhaps Novell/Suse 10 will ship with a good GNOME (SVG) desktop :)
Besides the whole icon business; Are there plans to base the whole (GNOME) desktop GUI on SVG? When I change the resolution of my screen, then the size of every icon, text, window frame/decoration, menu, taskbar, button, etc should stay the same; and I want to be able to change the size of all this without having to change my screen's resolution. Non-GNOME apps also would need to use SVG then, so perhaps SVG needs to be incorporated at the X level? Does xsvg or Cairo help with that?
and a link to the follow up message in case anyone else is intereseted http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-svg/2004Mar/0166.html
