NetworkManager dependency on Gnome-Shell
I decided to give up on my overview page speed issue and look at empathy. Empathy wasn't connecting at all. Kept reporting I had no network connection. Turns out if NetworkManager doesn't control the network -- ie you've bridged your only network card so you can have virtual machines connect direct to the network -- many network related activities don't function, even with a network connection. Then I needed an application and the overview page is now close to the 200-500 ms range. Seems all of my speed issues are related to having the network card bridged. Even my rdesktop is running faster. Does anyone have their network card bridge? Is there something in gnome-shell that might be causing this to happen? Seems rather strange just deactivating a network bridge would speed up graphics rendering. ___ gnome-shell-list mailing list gnome-shell-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list

Is there a way I can assign keyboard shortcuts to snap a window to the right or left? I would also like such a feature, as it would be useful on a netbook with a poor quality trackpad that makes dragging difficult. -- http://exolucere.ca ___ gnome-shell-list mailing list gnome-shell-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list

Yes, that is an interesting use case. Giovanni I think noted in another mail of yours that empathy looks at network manager status to know if it is connected or not. If I read correctly, network manager is now the central place to managing network connections for the entire desktop. So I reckon that even shell is monitoring the online status somehow.

So there isn't any reason to do so. sri ___ gnome-shell-list mailing list gnome-shell-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list

When it's in use, it is, yes. But AFAIK, the intended behaviour is that nothing should dumbly rely on NM; anything that can use it should check whether the system is actually using NM, and behave sanely if it finds that it isn't. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net ___ gnome-shell-list mailing list gnome-shell-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list
Re: Some small ideas for the Shell Panel and Overview

I have suggested this in the past, but not because of left handed people
(or anything of that sort) but for sake of proximity to the categories
and, more so, the new workspace panel(pane). It will also minimize mouse
movements across the screen.
The attached patch implements what you suggest in a trivial way.
Since the categories and icons simply exchanged places, there is no
border to divide the categories from the icons - whereas before, the
scrollbar provided that border. So, everything looks just floating in
space. But you can start getting an idea of how your proposal would
feel.

Is there a tutorial for writing gnome-shell extensions?
I have the background programs running which create text files of things like drive stats, database processing status. I was thinking if I could write this as an extension might be nice. Is there any tutorial guide for writing extensions? ___ gnome-shell-list mailing list gnome-shell-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list
