Don't forget cpu pressure, I've had freezes which need a forcefull
shutdown because of it. One example is installing Scratch from the
wiki. When it reaches the point of unzipping, it makes the system
slow. If you happen to have some activity also doing something

Wow, just tried Erik's instructions for using xcompmgr, and it's
amazing how swift the frame slides, and how I don't see any screen
redraws. The experience is totally more fluid. Does it degrade overall
performance? If not much, and if that performance degradation could be
recovered in another
Just to follow-up with trying it, while at first the feeling of using
composition was of a more responsive system, I did see performance
degrade as I launched more activities and used it more. The saving
grace was that there never was any ugly visual redraws (other than

Scott, I thought you came to the conclusion that there was no use for
ordered tags. What changed your mind? Was it the abilty to browse
hierarchical systems with the Journal? I also thought you came to the
conclusion that turning directory names as tags alone worked. How

Ah, so that's why you separate these legacy-hierarchical files with a

One extra thing that epiphany has that you didn't explicitelly showed
in your mockup is, as you select/type tags, the most popular and/or
recent section of the tag pane gets related tags thrown into its
mix. Related tags are those which have been applied to objects along
side the typed one(s).
Ideas for Journal: How epiphany browser manages bookmarks just with
tags (and does it nicely, with potential of improving of course).
I made a screenshot slide-show of how tagging and the dynamic
bookmarks menu based solely on tags work in Gnome's Epiphany browser.
I hope this can be usefull to

Intro:
When I initially read Sugar HIG, I loved the palettes, because it
would provide basic information on the primary, and more detailed on
the secondary. While I understand that the detail provided on the
secondary palette must have some limits, I also imagined that those
limits would be higher
