Re: Module proposal: dconf

2009-10-14 Thread Martin Meyer
It sounds like the backend for GSettings is somewhat pluggagle, at least on a per-platform basis. Can we make this configurable by the distro people at compile-time or runtime? Here's my thinking: 1) People may not like whatever storage mechanism is offered by dconf, so options may be good. 2)

Evolution uses both Berkeley DB and SQLite, right? Is there any reason you need to keep using two different database systems? Would it be possible to just migrate everything to one of the two databases instead of using them both? - Martin On Tue, Sep 29, 2009 at 11:13 AM, Matthew Barnes

It sounds like you're aiming to make Brasero a pretty all-encompassing burning library/system. That sounds awesome - I really like the idea of having just one library responsible for that desktop-wide. A couple question: Will the refactoring into library and app (the separation) be ready and

2007-10-10 Thread Martin Meyer
I disagree with your assertion that userspace audio services are wrong. How about userspace USB drivers or scanner drivers? Is SANE completely the wrong approach to scanning? Gnome has ambitions of being cross-desktop. It can NEVER do that if apps are connecting directly to Alsa, just like apps

2007-10-08 Thread Martin Meyer
I agree that PulseAudio is quite nice, I use it on my amd64 system. It has some GTK gui config tools which are nice, but I feel like they would need to be a little simpler if they were going to be included in Gnome. It's pretty powerful and flexible from what I've seen. That part aside... I would

Hi all, Can anyone tell me why Ubuntu's logout screen (or something similar) isn't gnome's default? On my system I have two separate applets, one for session logout and system power shutdown/suspend. I like Ubuntu's logout menu very much, and it doesn't require me to go to a different place when
