Description Daniel Radetic 2005-08-27 18:07:34 UTC

I have installed SUSE 10 beta 3 on my powerbook G4, and everything seems to be
working fine ( except a few glitches which i will fill bug reports for ). I have
noticed that it ships with pbbutonsd by default, however it would be good to
include GTKpbutonsd aswell ( frontend to pbbutonsd daemon ) which pops up a
little image the OS X style every time one uses function keys ( i don't see it
in default package set ).

this has to go into the gnome selection.

Comment 2 Stefan Dirsch 2005-08-28 00:24:25 UTC

Sorry, but the Gnome needs to decide which packages should be in Gnome  
selection, not me. Assign back to me, when you think it's a good idea to add 
this package.

So does that mean that i have to first request in GNOME mailing list additionof
this package in standard GNOME set of application, so that you may consider it
as third party addon package for suse ppc standard package set ? 

Maybe i should assign this to group x11-3d party ?

Personally i think it would be good if users that actually switched from os X to
linux on mac have something that reminds them of osX, GTKpbbutonsd is a wrapper
which pops up lil images just like it happens in osX when u for instance turn
on/of volume, eject cd ... etc

Im sure you can consider setting up this little package in standard set or at
least additional set of apps for suse ppc release.

Daniel: Stefan is just handing this off the the Gnome maintainers within
SUSE/Novell for consideration. There's no need to go to any external lists or to
switch this to X11-3rdparty.

Someone with better access to PPC hardware than I should consider this, though.

I don't think we should ship platform specific notifications like this.  I think
this is best addressed with the upstream system notification work going on in GNOME.
