[Bug 168164] Re: font sizes specified in pixels instead of points

2010-10-31 Thread eyerouge
I'm a dev. from WTactics.org and we love  to use Inkscape for plenty of
our stuff. This issue is indeed a bug: While not a technical one and in
the words true meaning, it's a human one beyond all logic. It shouldn't
be on a wishlist - it's like lacking mouse or fill support in Inkscape
and putting that on a wishlist. Sure, the program operates and can be
used, but it doesn't in any way operate as expected/needed by the
industry or even the average joe.

As it is now, it's even counter-productive, and that's possibly an even
worse problem than a bug (which only says the code is broke, not the
functionality of it or the program in general).

[Bug 16492] Re: Mouse pointer should disappear when keyboard is in use and mouse isn't

2010-06-27 Thread eyerouge
Matthew Paul Thomas:

To solve the GIMP-issue you experience you can use the -not switch,
which could exclude GIMP from unclutters handling.

As for your two other examples you're right that there is no way to
decide the timeout value within every specific program or in the
detailed manner you wish (when in field x in program y then hide mouse
after time z) by using unclutter.).

The two cases that you mention beside the GIMP one are _already_ a fact
in Ubuntu: They are not the result of unclutter. While unclutter doesn't
do the micro-management and is indeed a crude solution when put in your
light nothing/very little seems to be worse off by inlcuding it in the
OS if the options are a) should we have no solution or b) should we have
a semi-solution?

What I'm personally afraid of is if nobody would work on a real (i.e.
more advanced, in the lines of what you seem to request yourself)
solution on this if indeed unclutter is included. Thus unclutter, a
temporary fix, could end up giving much less incentive to create a real
and more full solution of the problem(s) at hand.
