GNOME

During discussion with murrayc on IRC, it was found the
position of GNOME regarding the dynamic library versioning
is somewhat wague.
Now I wonder, does GNOME respect libtool
versioning scheme
or not?

Keyboard

Slowly, I am starting to enrich base.xml with additional
meta-information (and use it in gnome-keyboard-properties).
As a first step, I’ve added non-translatable (who would
translate “Microsoft” to Russian anyway?) vendor name. The
model choser on my HDD looks like this:

Thanks to GObject (namely, g_object_set_data), the
libxklavier
ABI will not change, while API will get a set
of #defines.

PS. Richard,
it is not a problem to automate chosing XKB model using HAL.
All you need is a table mapping USB (or any other HIDdy bus)
IDs to XKB model names. And a bit of code in g-s-d.

PPS. And it seems I will never ever ever ever get my
hackergotchi setup on p.g.o.

Did you hear about the number
13256278887989457651018865901401704640? Or its hexadecimal
representation 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88
C0? If you put it on your site, you may be considered
violating DMCA, hehe. Because this number is used in HD-DVD
encryption. If you do not believe me – use Google..
