No Context in Window Picker

2010-07-05 Thread Frederik Nnaji
Hello Owen, hello list.. There is still no context menu in Window Picker mode. I think this is orthogonal to "there is no secondary click in Shell". Would be nice to discuss the nature of the context widget(s) one could possibly display: how about a widget that travels with your pointer focus, wi

This list, suggestions, frustration

2010-07-05 Thread Owen Taylor
I think there's a fair bit of pent-up frustration on this list... people describe their problems, they don't get a response from the core developers. People make suggestions, create mockups, they don't get a response from the core developers. I don't think I can really address that frustration
