Hey everybody,
Thank you all very much for your suggestions and advice.
I have been reading through the links you sent me and I will let you all know
what project I actually end up working on.

I think Jon is in Portland right now for the Plumbers conference, so
I'll try to answer for him.
I believe Brian wrote some code to port the dwell listeners over to
the new GDM some time ago. It's not completely finished, but it's
most of the way there.

About providing a UI, we're not in favor of that. A decent solution

For the people new to the discussion about the thumbnailer DBus spec,
here's[2] a working prototype that will compile on a typical desktop.
If you have Gdk and GStreamer, it'll already make thumbnails for all
supported formats in GdkPixbuf and for mpeg videos. More formats, if
supported by GStream

We'd prefer not. Whatever the way we handle the thumbs, inside or
outside of the specification, it's gonna take a lot of space

Mine is 800M, which is 10% of my entire /home partition. And

As long as this plugin stays as is, we only have one choice available:
shout "fuck you standards" and move our thumbs out of .thumbnails. But
I think we can figure out an arrangement:
1) the MAX_SIZE should be set to 0 by default, so the cleaning is only
done one the th

How do you do that when 99% of desktop PCs use noatime precisely for
that - perfomance? ;)

There's nothing that peculiar with f-spot there. It's just the defaults
in g-s-d that are not very sane and the house keeping
Afaik, other applications with similar problems do keep an ad-hoc cache
in ~/.cache/.
For example, banshee does keep a ~/.cache/album-art/ directory.
Since f-spot has peculiar needs, maybe it'll make sense to move its
thumbnail cache somewhere around there.

Hey guys,
I'll try not to rant and stay constructive...
Since 2.23.1, gnome-settings-daemon contains a housekeeping plugin that

usage awful to the point it's basically unusable.
The plugin does something like this:
