Hi Tomeu,
I found and have fixes two issues regarding the redesign:
a) the devices in the tray does draw the palette but not the black
border around the icon like they do in the Friendstray for example

Hello Ben,
Thanks for your valuable feedback on the proposal.
I have read your wiki page, and message, and I do not understand why you
think you cannot implement your goal as a standard activity. Please
explain this, preferably on the wiki.
What we are trying to propose is that since the

Exactly. Its doable, but not
A lot of thought has gone into the present tabbed toolbar design, with
goals of balancing valuable screen real estate with extensibility of
the design. Still, we've come to find some drawbacks with the current
design, including the sole use of text (which is secondary to icons in

Hi James,
Another thing I remember reading is that if two kids share an activity
and one has an older version of the activity than the other, the older
version gets updated so they both have the newer version.

Hi,
We announced the Joyride builds as having been frozen for new features
several months ago, as we solidified the Update.1 build. Now that it's
doing fine in its own stream, we're reopening the Joyride process for
new development. So, consider Joyride to be gradually unfreezing.
Please
Eben,
I've got more questions than answers for you, but perhaps my smaller
questions will make the overall problem easier to analyze.

By no means do I consider myself a user interface expert, but I have a few

In general, I agree that this proposal is better for localization and may

I don't know how many others are like me, but for me this creates

But Activities in /usr/share/activities seem to take precedence
over same-name Activities in /home/olpc/Activities.
My understanding is that exactly the opposite is true, but I might be
wrong -- /home/olpc/Activities should be taking precedence.
Thanks,

I went through the patches to figure out how to go about review and
merging. The changes can be summarized as:
1 Palette improvements.
2 Accell support.
3 Add favorite property to the activity registry.
My feeling is that 1 and 2 will require a careful review and possibly
non trivial changes to

It looks like the memory is in Xorg[2], and is around 2 MiB per
