Hi, I had a random thought at the summit; what if we add a new library in the stack (perhaps shipping with GLib or GTK tarball, I don't know). Call it libgapplication. It would contain: - GApplication - GSettings - dbus main loop hooks - ... It would depend on GObject, dbus, gvfs, dcon

libgnomekbd branched for 2.20

Here is just to inform you that libgnomekbd is branched for 2.20. TWIMC, the 2.22 version is going to make indicator widget lightweight (no stupid dbus client-server any more, so a bit of fat would be taken off g-s-d). The price of that would be bumping requirement for libxklavier version - from 3

Hi Francesco: We discussed MouseTweaks at the summit at think it definitely looks like it provides great functionality for the intended users. Overall, we support the module proposal, though we also recommend working with the GNOME Usablity folks (http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/) on a

I agree that PulseAudio is quite nice, I use it on my amd64 system. It has some GTK gui config tools which are nice, but I feel like they would need to be a little simpler if they were going to be included in Gnome. It's pretty powerful and flexible from what I've seen. That part aside... I would

Hi, is a sound server such as esd or pulseaudio still needed at all? As far as I understand, ALSA allows access from multiple applications. It supports hardware mixing and provides dmix as a fallback on systems where hardware mixing is not available. For the casual user, this should be sufficient.
