Hey,

That's a small topic, but the current sound theme and effects are not
great, the "sound effect" configuration tab doesn't make lot of sense
either. Would somebody be interested to pick up on that and improvement
it next cycle? We were also speaking about disabling the startup sound
so it would be nice to have an easy way to turn it back on for those who
like it ;-)

Cheers,

I'd like to see a new cursor them to replace DMZ.

Just my 2 cents.

Hi.
When we are going to switch to default DVD release? Users really don't
like to install system and realize, that all their default small apps
and programs are gone, and they have to look for them in Software
Center. Many times users just don't remember proper app name.
You wanna cut Tomboy from Oneric - but any other notetaker app will be
there (by default)? If no, that's mean we gonna again to cut system
functionality just because to fit CD's 700MB.

As others have said in the past, fitting Ubuntu on a CD is an exercise 
in keeping the distro somewhat lightweight.


We've always made do with that approach, but the limits are getting 
harder and harder with each cycle.

Hi,

During the desktop team meeting today we discussed deprecated libs and
CD space, tomboy is keeping libgnome, libgnomeui, libbonobo,
libbonoboui, libgnomecanvas on the CD in oneiric and will until upstream
switches to gsettings which seems to have no mono bindings yet.

Since that work has been stalling for a while, we need CD space and we
want to get ride of the deprecated library we decided during the meeting

Tomboy will still be easily installable and will not get away for users
upgrading, that will just concern new installation during the oneiric
unstable cycle.

There will probably be other discussions about tradeoffs we can make in
the default installation in the next weeks as well since we are short on
CD space still and some of changes planned for this cycle didn't land
yet.






If Tomboy goes, I'm not going to miss it.

I never figured out its purpose or how to use it.

gnome-panel as a fallback

2011-06-05 Thread Eric Appleman
Hi, I was wondering under which circumstances the GTK3 gnome-panel can 
be used as a fallback for Unity or GNOME-Shell.


I'd like to know if Unity 2D will also be used for for FailsafeX sessions.

Thanks in advance.
