GNOME docker 0.1 ================ GNOME application for notifying laptop users about the state of their dock station and the possibility to undock the system via software, either from the tray icon, or via a hotkey. In future, it will also care about hotpluggable devices placed on the dock station, such as hard drives and DVD/CD drives.
It is meant to be well designed and to fit into the GNOME desktop. So an important aim for gnome-docker is to be shipped with GNOME upstream. Currently, it has the following features: - tray icon showing the current status and with functionality to undock a laptop - handling of hotkeys to undock a laptop (e.g. FN-F9 on ThinkPads) - xrandr support to enable/disable external outputs attached to the dock station (experimental, evaluating how it fits there) - User notifications about the state of the dock station. E.g.: "Now it's save to remove the laptop" As gnome-docker forges ahead, the linux kernel has to improve and has to provide sensible date for userspace to make use of, like exporting which devices are inside a dock station.
