Really like the presence ideas Brian for SunRay. Under your umbrella of "Gnome apps set to go into low resource mode" I'd particulary like to see someone hack on Firefox to get it in this low resource mode to only keep images in memory for the currently visible tab, with 20 - 30 tabs open this can be a huge resource sink.
JR To enable reduced resources mode, execute the following command: # *gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/metacity/general/reduced_resources true* Brian Nitz wrote: > I'll put it on the wiki, but fist I thought I'd ask for opinions on > these ideas: > > 1) Provides GNOME desktop hooks which would allow sunray utactions > (specifically java card removal) to do something useful such as: > Tell GAIM instant messenger that you are away. > Tell screensavers, stock tickers, clocks and other visually > active applications to stop updating the screen for a while. > Tell other GNOME applications to go into a low resource usage mode. > > This might also be useful for the Linux Desktop Terminal Project > (LDTP) and other thin client projects, and possibly for power management. > > 2) Write a porting tool which would allow customizations of desktop > files and gconf key to be migrated automatically to newer GNOME releases. > > 3) Make nautilus (gnome-vfs) understand zfs snapshots and rollbacks. > > Glynn Foster wrote: > >> On Mon, 2006-04-24 at 19:18 +0100, Darren Kenny wrote: >> >> >>> Another interesting project would be to get a Bluetooth stack up an >>> running with the OpenSolaris kernel.
