GNOME
Yesterday I made first relatively large commit of the new keyboard preferences. Basically, the idea is to get rid of the applet properties altogether, move some of them to the control center and leave the rest on the gconf level. So, the screenshots of the first version (withouth preview) are here and here. Comments are welcome (directly or in the mailing lists).
HAL
So, the very first battery daemon is working – and updating the mouse’s battery status. The code is not in CVS yet – waiting for David to commit it there (I know, he first has to do some initial restructuring in 0.5 series). The discussion regarding ACPI in HAL generally shown the WTG – again, just waiting for 0.5 development cycle to start – so I could add ACPI daemon. David, let’s branch 0.4 and start ruinning the HEAD:)
GNOME
I am finally confident that all the Keyboard Indicator Applet’s preferences should go into the g-c-c’s Keyboard Preferences (separate tab, popup dialog – whatever). All these options should be system-wide and should not depend on the fact whether the applet is on the panel or not.
GNOME
Massive cleanup in gkb-new. Only xmodmap stuff is remaining from that point. Got confirmation from Shooby (humm…) that I can move xmodmap data to X11 licence (to xkeyboard-config) – but will not do it, for now. Still, xmodmap stuff needs some cleanup and polishing – the slow, error-prone process (expecting loads of bugreports). Well, really, xmodmap layouts are in a good shape as they are – BUT since it was agreed to use Alt-Alt as a default switcher – I have to ensure that all layouts are ok with it (Alts are used in a “conformant” way). So here can be some problems…
GNOME
Thanks to Alexandre Prokoudine, I got my very own “head”. So now Planet GNOME can use it with all the stuff coming from my name.
HAL
It seems the project “a battery the way HAL percieves it” finally cought me. Ma, I swear, I did not want to start it!
