This would make the menu bar and upstream main menu more usable. But I don't know what's the impact on the application browser.

[opensuse-gnome] proposal or repository for branding, wallpapers, artwork, themes etc.

by Stanislav Brabec

Hallo. I would like to propose a new repository (repositories) for several types of artwork: Branding I am thinking about subprojects with particular brandings. First planned item is the "Example" branding template. Proposing: Branding:Example or Artwork:Branding:Example Wallpapers and backgrounds It would be nice to package popular Propaganda abstract wallpapers set altogether with desktop integration stuff (KDE+GNOME wallpapers, nautilus background patterns,...). Proposing: Artwork or Artwork:Wallpapers Themes and metathemes Maybe bad idea. Could be GNOME:Themes, KDE:Themes or Artwork:GNOME, Artwork:KDE. Technical topic: Some of these project would be completely distro independent. Is it possible to create such build to prevent duplicated packaging of identical files? -- Best Regards / S pozdravem, Stanislav Brabec software developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s. r. o. e-mail: sbrabec(a)suse.cz Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 966, +49 911 740538747 190 00 Praha 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] nautilus trash enhancement

by David Liang

Hi, I wrote a patch to restore trash file in Nautilus in Opensuse 11. The bug uri is : https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=395497 Patch is at: https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=218936 I think some of the current trash behaviors in Nautilus were strange. For example, we can open the file in trash but in fact most application do not support uris begin with "trash:///" . And some plugins Encrypt/Sign seems meanless to the trash file, so maybe we can mask them from the right-clicked menu. There need more enhancement like: view the original path in the Properity page. Set the max size of the trash in each volumn. Where I can found the exist discussion about trash? Thank you.

[opensuse-gnome] openSUSE-GNOME BugDay Wrap-Up

by Christopher Hobbs

Greetings, list! I just wanted to send out a quick wrap up of yesterday's events and a thank you to everyone who participated. In case you missed the message(s), yesterday we held an openSUSE-GNOME Bug Day (http://en.opensuse.org/GNOME/BugDays/20080528 ). We met with the goal of reviewing as many 10.3 bugs as we could in preparation for the 11.0 release. I started the meeting at roughly 0800CDT and we finally closed things up at 1700CDT. In that 9 hour marathon run, we reviewed somewhere between 87 and 91 bugs and enhancements out of our original list of 187. We closed or resolved a little under half of the items that we reviewed. People were in and out of the channel all day assisting with the event as I assigned bugs to people. I doubt I could remember everyone's names who worked on the project yesterday, but all of you deserve a huge thank you for your hard work and effort (and for putting up with the occasional fumble that I made). I really appreciate the effort! -- Christopher M.
