Not sure what my thoughts are here. I think that largely the reason
that GeoClue hasn't been touched, is that there isn't a lot of people
pushing for new features, and not a lot of applications have adopted it.

So I've created some bazaar branches for the packaging that I've done.
Currently it's in my "home" on Launchpad. But, we were discussing it in
#ubuntu-devel and I think it makes more sense to put these under the
Ubuntu Desktop team on Launchpad.
I'll go ahead and do so if there are no objections

I guess this is the way the way I see it:

+1 Longer support cycle which is a plus for an LTS
+1 Significant improvements that are worth pushing for

Okay, so some of the Debian folks are saying that this might create more

Currently in gnome-screensaver we're replacing the Debian logo

so that we're just adding the Ubuntu one instead of replacing it. I

One of the UI reviews of Ubuntu Gutsy specifically mentioned that the
panel resizing was not good. And specifically that in the world of SVG
icons it should be perfect. Having never resized my panels I set out to
