GNOME Shell 3.5.90

[Florian Müllner]

About GNOME Shell
=

GNOME Shell provides core user interface functions for the GNOME 3
desktop, like switching to windows and launching applications. GNOME
Shell takes advantage of the capabilities of modern graphics hardware
and introduces innovative user interface concepts to provide a
visually attractive and easy to use experience.

Tarball releases are provided largely for distributions to build
packages. If you are interested in building GNOME Shell from source,
we would recommend building from version control using the build
script described at:

 http://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell

Not only will that give you the very latest version of this rapidly
changing project, it will be much easier than get GNOME Shell and its
dependencies to build from tarballs.

I don't think that's true at all. We don't touch libgnome-menus after
we scan the menu tree originally at startup.

If anything, the big thing that we need to change is gdk-pixbuf's SVG
loader, by making pango/SVG thread-safe.

One thing that would really speed it up is changing libgnome-menus.
There are a few changes in 3.6 that'll help, but libgnome-menus is also
a big factor in it being slow.

It seems this is issue was already reported as
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=669693 . I CC'd it. If you
need any info I'm watching this thread as well as the bug.

*1. Ship Gnome Shell with the Dash to Dock extension and a hack to add
minimize and maximize*, so people won't have problems.


Not everybody wants to have a dock to launch application. I have never 
used the
"dock" inside the overview or dash and in the 2 days i was using that 
the dock

was the most annoying thing.
imho alt + f2 is much faster than using the mouse and click. I have only 
one extension

that changes the "look and feel" of the shell: Auto hide topbar.
Moving between windows with alt + tab and placing them on different 
workspaces is everything

i need. *

*Adding minimize/maximize buttons to the shell is quite easy:
  http://lmgtfy.com/?q=gnome+shell+minimize

again, i thing you are faster if you use settings - keyboard - minimize 
window and set

it to what every you want.*

2. Put a launcher "Change Gnome Now" to http://extensions.gnome.org/
in desktop*, so people'll click it for solutions.

A small "Getting Started" with some information about the tweak tool and 
the extensions

would be really nice.


Thanks to the gnome team for there excellent work!

Hi there!  Thanks for the suggestions.  There are some short term issues
with people adjusting to GNOME shell but I think the experience is going to
improve vastly in 3.6.

I think there is an underlying debate on whether you want to make changes
up front and in your place or slowly make the conversion by putting
familiar UI components and then slowly removing them over time.

I don't know what the right way to go about it since this hasn't been done
quite this way before.

I like your idea of showing off extensions some how, but I don't think
having a launcher on the desktop is the best way as it conflicts with the
distraction free computing by adding clutter to the desktop root window.

Still interesting stuff.

For the record, I first became interested in the Gnome project when
Gnome 3 was released, because Gnome 3 is a huge step up from every
other free desktop out there now.

+1

I don't know if this is the right title to use, but I think extensions 
need some love.

If you don't read this mailing-list you probably don't know about it.

Even on this webpage http://www.gnome.org/gnome-3/, there's nothing 
about extensions.
On Firefox, there is some advertisment about the addons possibilities. 
There's a button

in it.

Mutter 3.5.90

[Florian Müllner]

About Mutter


Mutter is a window and compositing manager that displays and manages
your desktop via OpenGL. Mutter combines a sophisticated display
engine using the Clutter toolkit with solid window-management logic
inherited from the Metacity window manager.

While Mutter can be used stand-alone, it is primarily intended to be
used as the display core of a larger system such as GNOME Shell. For
this reason, Mutter is very extensible via plugins, which are used
both to add fancy visual effects and to rework the window management
behaviors to meet the needs of the environment.

News

* Fix logic for handling translations of the windows group [Owen; #681221]
* Handle painting inside a Clutter clone [Owen; #681953]
* Update overlay-key on settings changes [Florian; #681906]
* Add keybinding for overlay-key [Florian; #665547]
* Minor fixes and improvements [Javier, Florian]
