Padding 10 in gnome-panel
by Alexey Torkhov 21 Oct '09

21 Oct '09

Hi. I’m wondering why was padding 10 added to default gnome-panel configuration? My panel at 1280x1024 with bunch of elements has now difficulties to fit them all. And at smaller resolutions, for example, at netbooks that wouldn’t be useful at all. Alexey

Hi, This GUI tool seems to have been lost in the transition to PolicKit-1. Is there a plan on getting it back? It was quite convenient. If not, what is the recommended method? Rahul

No IRC support in Fedora 12?!?
by Valent Turkovic 19 Oct '09

19 Oct '09

Hi, current rawhide and Empathy client show great promise as it adds audio and video conference options. But one thing that Fedora users are used to have, IRC chat, seams like it is not supported and not working in current version of Empathy. Are Fedora developers aware of that? Is there some fallback plan to include IRC support in default Fedora Desktop spin in some other way? After installing telepathy-idle I see no difference.Am I doing something wrong? Also why isn't telepathy-idle installed as a dependency or at leas by default with empathy?

Is there going to be a way to remember authorisations through teh GUI even if there is not a way to manipulate them? Having to re enter the admin password each time I update the system seems to be a hassle... and I am sure there are other times when I want the authorisation to eb saved for the user, but no check box is visible to allow that on the GUI for the password that does pop up.

RE: Firefox Fonts in Fedora
by Hristo Petkov 17 Oct '09

17 Oct '09

Hi Guys, I don't see what is the problem. In my Firefox the fonts are the same as on the desktop. Well, they are not exactly beautiful, but the idea of the fonts on the web browser are not to be a masterpiece of art but to be easily readable, comprehensive and to save time when working with the browser. On my desktop they look fairly good. Regards, Christo Petkov

A new notification theme
by Matthias Clasen 02 Oct '09

02 Oct '09

Tomorrows rawhide will have a new notification theme for Gnome. The aim of this new theme is to integrate well with the theming in the rest of the desktop (which wasn't really the case with nodoka bubbles and a clearlooks desktop). Let me know how the new bubbles work for you; this is the initial release, so there is probably some fine-tuning left to do. In other bubble news, the amount of notifications that get emitted by NM, g-p-m and packagekit should be noticeably reduced, compared to F11. Matthias
