GSoC - Improving the desktop experience with the "Task" and "TaskMonitor" D-Bus API

Hi,

I just want to announce the availability of my proposal at
http://socghop.appspot.com/gsoc/student_proposal/private/google/gsoc2010/sickert/t127021584118

Local Mirror at: http://home.in.tum.de/~sickert/gsoc-local.html

Mockups are located here:
http://home.in.tum.de/~sickert/dbus-tasks-mockups

As always comments and advice are appreciated especially from
GNOME-Shell, Nautilus, Epiphany and Empathy/Telepathy developers.

Sincerely

Salomon Sickert

No icon on the gnome desktop using geode driver

RE: No icon on the gnome desktop using geode driver

Murray,

	That is not a simple thing. The geode driver does has some bug in it. The driver has not been maintained for a
while. If I use vesa driver instead of geode driver, the icon can be displayed.
	Can you give me a link of a sample program , like the eog program?

Thanks,
Frank

Recent versions of GNOME don't show the button and menu icons by
default, on purpose. I think there is a gconf key to turn that back on.

If the problem is more complicated than that, maybe you should try a
simple GTK+ test case. That will be easier for you to investigate.

RE: No icon on the gnome desktop using geode driver

Micheal,

	Your suggestion is correct.
	Another guy in Xorg-devel mail loop has helped me fix this issue. He put the non A4/A8 HW acceleration in
lx_check_composite() instead of lx_prepare_composite().
	I'll write a gtk+ program to trace the bug findings process.

Thanks,
Frank

	You want to isolate a simple test case from eog's icon rendering ? if
so - you need to do some code reading. Personally I would follow these
steps:

	* first - create a minimal gtk+ app to render a button
	  with an icon - I would do that by running 'gtk-demo' which
	  has source for you to steal.

	* then include <gdkx.h> and start cut/paste/in-lining the
	  relevant code from gtk+/gdk/x11/ that does the image
	  handling

	Quite possibly the problem is related to Xrender support; which we use
for rendering icons, primarily because this off-loads the alpha blending
into the Xserver (and theoretically hardware), and saves round-trips. I
would suspect XRenderCreatePicture / XRenderComposite myself.

Linux Plumbers Conference: Call for Tracks

		    Linux Plumbers Conference 2010
			    Call for Tracks

This year, Linux Plumbers Conference will take place in Cambridge, MA
on November 3-5, 2010.  Unlike more traditional conferences, the
Plumbers conference is not structured around presentations of
completed work, or problems and solutions confined to a single
subsystem or layer of the Linux ecosystem.  Rather the Plumbers
Conference encourages BOFs type meetings and brainstorming sessions
where technical experts from different areas and leaders in the Linux
and Open Source world can get together and discuss how to make
progress towards the solution of interdisciplinary multifaceted
problems spanning multiple components of the Linux system.  In some
sense, the Plumbers Conference is really more of a workshop.

The program committee for the Linux Plumbers Conference is looking for
proposals for the "tracks" that will be run during the Plumbers
Conference.  

To do that, we are looking for "problem statements": things that could
be improved in Linux that cross multiple interfaces or other project
boundaries (if you can solve it yourself inside a single project,
please, don't let us stop you --- get hacking!).  We are looking for
problems that require collaboration and face-to-face communication
across multiple teams and open source projects.  These problems could
apply to anywhere Linux is used: Linux on the Desktop, Linux on Mobile
devices, Linux on servers, etc.

For example, if in order to get better performance, we need to get
