Fedora desktop spin size issues, update
by Matthias Clasen
After a week of dieting, things are looking a bit better...
iso size: 691MB -> 708MB
packages: 989 -> 1011
Compared to last week, we still have the following big additions:
webkitgtk 18MB - pulled in by empathy
libicu 19MB - pulled in by webkitgtk
atlas 12MB - pulled in by pygtk2 via numpy
but we managed to rid of most of boost, and replaced cpp by mcpp.
So, some progress, some more to do !

Given that the last release on the devel branch was called "rc2", this
is hardly insider information...

gtk print dialog and OOo
by Caolán McNamara
We've supported a gtk print dialog integration in OOo for a while, but
there has always been a few little gotchas, and now that the "built-in"
OOo dialog has some nifty extras there are extra gotchas. So I'll be
reverting to the "built-in" dialog for F11, a quick dump of the gotchas
are..
*) Need an extra "Selection" option for printing.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=344519
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=563619
OOo can print just the selected text, selected graphic or selected
cells, but no way to show that in the gtk print dialog.
*) Way to specify the page size and orientation (esp. when using n-up
printing)
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=551409
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=551726
Most OpenOffice.org applications have per-page orientations rather than
global per print-job orientation, but when printing multiple pages in
one sheet of paper through cups, its desirable to have a way to specify
the orientation and page size of the combined sheet. We could do this
with a custom tab, but see next entry
*) Emit a signal when a printer is selected.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=564854
So e.g. a custom tab that should only exist for say, printing to a cups
backend, or using save as .pdf file can be shown/hidden depending on the
printer selection, e.g. pdf encryption options or pdf "read-only except
for filling in fields" directives which only make sense in a save
as .pdf context. Hackable around with nasty switch-page callback on the
notebook widget if you rummage around horrifically through the dialog
hierarchy looking for it.
*) Spreadsheet printing
No "All Sheets", "Selected Sheets" in addition to the pages options for
spreadsheets that may have multiple sheets each of which can span
multiple pages. "Page 1 of 2 sheets selected out of 3 sheets in total".
Could do a gnumeric and do this in a custom tab though
*) Presentation printing
Want to select notes, or outline, or handouts. Could do this in a custom
tab though.

Display Configuration test day summary
by Matthias Clasen
We've had the first 'Fit and Finish' test day on display configuration
yesterday. I'd like to thank everybody who came by on irc and tested
something, or filed a bug. If you could not make it, our test cases are
still available here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2009-07-07_Fit_and_Finish:Display...
That page also contains the results of our yesterdays testing efforts,
if you are interested. The good news is that we have already fixed some
of the things that were found broken, and more fixes are on the way.
Here is just one exemplary fix:
* Tue Jul 07 2009 Adam Jackson <ajax(a)redhat.com> 2.27.3-2
- gnome-desktop-2.27.3-edid-prop-name.patch: Adapt to RANDR 1.3's new
name for the EDID output property.
I'll post the date an topic for our next 'Fit and Finish' test day in
the next few days.

Blog aggregation
by Paul W. Frields
Could I ask each of the Desktop developers on this list to please make
sure their blogs are aggregated on the Fedora Planet feed?
The instructions are located here, and take about 2 minutes to
complete:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Join_Fedora_Planet
Thank you for helping to keep people abreast of the work going on in
the Fedora community to expand and improve the free software desktop.

Yeah, this is a very nice checklist for 'basic sanity'. And any bug you
file about a problem in one of those categories certainly qualifies as a
'fit and finish' issue. But as a test day topic, it might be a bit
boring to spend the whole day testing e.g. copy-and-paste between app X
and Y to fill a big matrix...
