I *love* the idea of showing notifications and allowing control of media playback. It's something I've wanted for a very, very long time. But I share Bhaavan's concern with having to physically drag the screen up. It's very cumbersome with a mouse. And aside from being inconvenient, without keyboard-only use it's not accessible. How is the PIN supposed to be set? Will that involve changes to the User Accounts panel? And while we're dealing with User Accounts and passwords, could we manage to do something about the password hint? You can set it, but it doesn't do anything useful in any software anywhere. It's kind of embarrassing to have to write that in the help. -- Shaun _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
