I was referring only to the systray bugs:-) no idea about shaped windows, i tried dragging files from both konqueror and nautilus and they worked with and without bling/composite manager, i suppose they use shaped windows since icons are not rectangular. I also tried with one test using ecore_evas + ecore_evas_shaped_set(ee, 1) and also worked fine. PS: thanks for your reports, they're very useful to improve e17. I never ran into such issues, so would never mind to try to fix them as they never existed to me :-) -- Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri http://profusion.mobi embedded systems -------------------------------------- MSN: barbi...@gmail.com Skype: gsbarbieri Mobile: +55 (19) 9225-2202 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: High Quality Requirements in a Collaborative Environment.
