Here's a snapshot of the Sato upgrade I've been working on (YOCTO
#3169). It's based on Ross' work from 2.5 years back. The bigger
changes currently live as my forks of the upstream projects (gtk3
branches of various projects at https://github.com/jku), and the
patchset here modifies recipes to temporarily use those forks:
this is intended to make testing and review possible but also
means this is just an RFC: once the upstream changes are merged,
I'll update this patchset.
For those not familiar with it, the goal of the exercise is to
1. Bring Sato desktop closer to this decade (Don't depend on
ancient components, remove deprecated code)
2. Focus more on delivering an environment for validating and
testing oe-core, less on building a DE for mobile devices
Major changes:
* Ports to GTK3: matchbox-desktop, matchbox-panel-2,
connman-gnome, sato-screenshot, xsettings-daemon
* GTK+ theme is Adwaita (upstream default)
* Matchbox WM theme modified to somewhat resemble Adwaita (boring
gray instead of in-your-face green)
* Matchbox panel is no longer drawn on top of application titlebars
because that fails badly with client side decorations. Instead
it's a thinner panel always on top of screen, like gnome2 panel.
* Custom GTK theme engine is dropped
Here's a screenshot showing the panel and window decoration:

Regressions:
* on-screen keyboard: I've not looked very closely but I
believe this requires IM work for GTK3
* startup notification
Questions:
* Schedule: this is for Yocto 2.1 in bugzilla (now M3) but got
delayed. it's a bigger change and isn't ready to merge
(as the upstream patches need review). Should I aim for next
release instead?
* How should we do review on this? The upstreams are mostly on
yoctoproject.org so I could send patches to some YP mailing list...
but testing many of the patches is impossible without the patches
for the other projects.
* Are the regressions listed above blockers?
* Anything I've missed? Theme design bikeshedding?
Cheers,
Jussi
