This looks like a duplicate of #631664 and has nothing to do with gnome- bugs #531850. This is a problem with Compiz. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-panel in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/672760

@James: Why not make the OS transition process a little bit easier for more users? Because I do not agree with the assumption that the changes you proposed (adding options to the dialog) will improve usability, on the contrary, I strongly believe that this will only lead to more problems, because

I'm sorry but if the goal is to improve usability then adding more options to a dialog (especially the ones mentioned) is in my view not the right way to go about this. Instead you should ask the distributor of VirtualBox to package their stuff. -- Usability: .RUN files, terminal, and

This bug is filed upstream as https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=606848 Ignoring for a moment whether it is even useful to expose this configuration setting somewhere in the user interface, I have to say that I do not think this belongs in the Nautilus preferences dialog just because it

2008-09-12 Thread Bruce van der Kooij
Here's a version of the tracker thumbnailer written in Python which uses the Python Imaging Library (PIL) to modify the background color to white (works for all ODF types). It's quite similar to the one presented in the Ubuntu Forums earlier (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=76566), but

In reply to comment #7: Anyone an idea how to change this behaviour? The out-of-the-box thumbnailing for odt-files with tracker is great. It's quite annoyingly though, e.g. when you have a non-solid-white background, then it's hard to see these thumbnails in nautilus. See below. They simply

I didn't know Gutsy included a thumbnailer for OpenDocument files. Anwyays, it looks to me like this is actually intended behavior. OpenOffice.org by default uses No fill as the background color, meaning transparency. The actual thumbnail in the archive (that is Thumbnails/thumbnail.png) is also
