Thoughts on getting File Browser Applet into main and ubuntu-desktop
Hello everyone. I recently became aware of the applet called File Browser Applet, formerly named Gnome Menu File Browser Applet. This is an applet that lets you add one or more folders as menus on your panel, similar to the ones provided by the gnome menu that is default in the Ubuntu Desktop. After using this for only a few days, I've become totally dependent on it. I don't understand how I could ever live without it, almost. The filebrowser-applet package is now in Intrepids multiverse repository, which is good, but I feel this applet should not only be in main, but ubuntu-desktop should also depend on it. Hardy-users who'd like to try this out, can download a deb from their project site at http://code.google.com/p/gnome-menu-file-browser-applet/ I'm not only writing this in order to promote it, though I do feel it deserves a lot of attention, but I was hoping that as many people as possible could try it out. If lots of people love it like I do, then it should be made available in the "Add to panel"-list of applets, which would require it to be in main and ubuntu-desktop.

Re: Has the Window decoration for Intrepid (Gnome) been finalized?
Hi Chandru, Moving from ubuntu-devel-discuss to ubuntu-desktop, the correct list for this query.

Has the Window > Decoration to be used finalized for Intrepid? It should have been, yes. Intrepid is currently in UserInterfaceFreeze, which means that by default anything affecting user visible strings or the UI shouldn't change between now and release: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UserInterfaceFreeze Having said that of course, the background still has a heron painted on it, so that will require an exception. Hopefully that will be done sooner rather than later. > Is it only me who feels this way or do others feel the same too? I disagree - I think the window look in current Intrepid has improved quite a bit. -- Matthew East http://www.mdke.org gnupg pub 1024D/0E6B06FF -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop

[Bug 268097] Re: Please move bluez plugins to main
I promoted those three to main. However, in order to get onto CDs, they should become a dependency of something appropriate. If they were split out of bluez-utils, how about making them Recommends: of that package? ** Changed in: bluez-utils (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete ** Changed in: bluez-utils (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Martin Pitt (pitti) -- Please move bluez plugins to main https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/268097 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop
