I was not thinking of a configuration screen. I mentioned the handset
"policy manager" and was thinking of a rule-set that needs to be added
to the policy manager in Prolog  -- a language I love and the exact
right way of expressing the rules needed to implement the above with
no "knobs." However, it is not clear that the policy manager is
actually running on the netbook, even though packages
prolog-resourcepolicy-extensions-1.1.9-1.6.i586
pulseaudio-policy-enforcement-1.1.10-1.4.i586 are present, it's not
clear they're "hooked up."

I also referred to some related issues&concerns raised re tracker in
an article I wrote:
http://code.google.com/p/ytd-meego/wiki/CitizenJournalismWithYoutubeDirectForMeego#MeeGo_Policy_Framework
.........................
Similar "Policy Framework" issues include preventing scheduling
background tasks while capturing media. For example a typical
complaint over the Tracker subsystem (
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=61960 ) suggests, alongside the
fact that it won't be available until MeeGo 1.2, that this project
might best work-around using Tracker and use more traditional APIs for
managing media files:

"I would like it to index the new pictures/videos AFTER I've shot
them, after LEAVING the application that made them. Not during... In
general, while I'm doing the creation, I would want as little other
system activity as possible. Real multi-tasking on a limited resource
device only goes that far ... Ask Apple and Google. So while doing
time critical stuff, I ideally want all non-critical stuff frozen.
That would help the stuttering while filming."

Partial facepalm: however, that's related to a different thread.

I apologize for complicating an existing bug with even wonkier
behavior from allocation errors. They were my fault (
https://bugs.meego.com/show_bug.cgi?id=13778#c15 ), but I saw many of
those errors before I "customized" my netbook with
Fedora/RPMFusion/PlanetCCRMA repos that allow me to do what I need to
do with media. I also saw them on the intel tablet ux release, which
appeared based off an earlier branch of 1.1.90 than the "trunk" I was
on when I installed. And others seem to be seeing other versions of
the same issue: https://bugs.meego.com/show_bug.cgi?id=7529

Thanks for your patience!
