After looking at the mails and #GNUstep discussion, I get this list
(if I misplaced or forgot someone, please correct me):
Against:
Dennis Leeuw
Fred Kiefer
Gürkan Sengün
(_maybe_ Adam Fedor, not sure how to read that mail)
For:
Nicolas Roard
Alex Perez [1]
Jeff Teunissen
Riccardo Mottola
Which doesn't really get us anywhere, except that it's now late and I
need to sleep. :)
[1] After discussion in #GNUstep, it turned out that Alex's earlier
mails here were based on a misunderstanding of what the patch did.
Well to bring back the issue, I would say I'm in the "For" list. Dennis
Leeuw has moved to "For" list too I can conclude by reading this last
mail on the subject.
In my opinion, it is better to have a somewhat correct default look with
a default gamma between 1.6 and 2.2, even if this gamma is wrong, by
taking in account you can have it truly right with a default (wrapped by
a Preferences panel ideally). Moreover iirc GNOME/KDE uses a 1.6 gamma,
Mac OS X a 1.8 gamma and Windows a 2.2 gamma, with such values we can
conclude it is reasonable (for color compatibility) to be in this range
not at the extreme opposite. Last point, I cannot imagine having a
desktop environment which asks a newbie to set its gamma, it is a such
complex notion for the everyday user.
