So to be clear, you see GOA's configurability to be in setting up new account groups, but new protocols. So I could add "Corp. Account" but if my corp. uses a protocol that GNOME OS doesn't use otherwise, I couldn't add this. Trying to understand what configurability you expect in the future. --Ted signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list

Could you elaborate on the term "GNOME apps" in this context please? For instance, if Inkscape wanted to have account settings for the recently published Deviant Art APIs would that be allowed? Or is it encouraged that when Inkscape runs on GNOME OS it should provide it's own account setup dialog for those APIs? --Ted signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list

There may be some design issues and this is probably equally a request to the Ubuntu developers (several of whom do read this list) as it is the GNOME ones, but I think crossplatform interoperability is a good thing to aim for. GNOME's implementation is very young; I have a hard time finding apps on my computer using this feature even in GNOME 3.2; Unity has more apps using jumplists.

Was wondering if we could take-up this forgotten feature planned for 3.1: https://live.gnome.org/ThreePointOne/Features/Sharing AFAIK, the issue was that designers were way too busy with more important features in 3.1 so they didn't get any time for this one. Lapo has started to investigate this it seems and last I asked Bastien, he was also interested(?) in getting this done in 3.3 cycle. -- Regards, Zeeshan Ali (Khattak) FSF member#5124 ___ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list

If there's interest we can look at how this could move into GTK+. http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~canonical-dx-team/ido/trunk/view/head:/src/idoentrymenuitem.c Hope that helps. --Ted signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
