Combined status/logout/etc.
I like it. First, after the various ideas about how to deal with the logout dialogue, this is a solution that works well for me - even one less click than before. Second, I really like the idea of desktop integration stuff, and would like to see much more of telepathy. One request though - could we please get scaled down versions of the icons for the shut down, logout, restart, suspend, and hibernate actions and put them in that dropdown? (In the same manner as the icons up by "Busy", "Available", and "Away".) They were pretty, and having seven menu options in a row with no icon is a bit drab. I'd also suggest making an icon for "Lock Screen", and then moving that down with the group at the bottom - it belongs better with things like suspend and log out than next to "Offline", don't you think? I'm fine with the guest session entry lacking an icon though, both because it would be hard to make a sensible icon for it and because it's the longest entry by character count, but that should be the only one. Again, nice work whomever is behind this. -- Tony Yarusso http://tonyyarusso.com/ -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
US PyCon cfp
Hello Ubuntu developer community, PyCon 2009 is looking for proposals to fill the formal presentation tracks. The PyCon conference days will be March 27-29, 2009 in Chicago, Illinois. Previous PyCon conferences have had a broad range of presentations, from reports on academic and commercial projects to tutorials and case studies. We hope to continue that tradition this year. How Ubuntu will deal with Python 3.0 comes to mind.

It's used when you want to do nothing more than rebuild the package. "build" is used as it is not "ubuntu" and so the auto-syncer will happily sync a new version from Debian when they upload one, as it knows that there are no Ubuntu changes to preserve.

Oops, one remaining question: what does mean the "-3build1" part in a package version (e.g. liblablgtkmathview-ocaml[1])?

That tab is there, but it has no ability to deal with syndaemon at this time. -- William Grant -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss

Well, after a bit of testing I think 0.3 sec is more than enough :) and syndaemon should ignore the ALT key (it doesn't seem to me that it's configurable) because one actually uses alt+tap sometimes to move windows and that is made impossible by syndaemon. Moreover, a touchpad configuration tab should be added to the mouse preferences, in which one can configure wether to use syndaemon or not, and the delay. Too sensitive touchpads are a problem for many cheap laptops and syndaemon would increase usability a lot.
