Hey all, I was sending a file to a friend using sent to and I noticed that it doesnt give any indication of the progress of the transfer or even if the user has gotten it. I found out that the send to dialog stays on the screen until they get it but I think it needs some sort of better indication.

Re: [Ayatana] Application Menu bug consolidation and plans

My message is to the passive group or those who lurk.. Please note that ``duped'' isn't a word. That is what you all should work on fixing technologically and socially in the future, and not creating new branches or nodes from the same tree when the equilibrium of GTK Apps is pretty smooth, now.

Hey all, I see you guys are planning the design of the networking menu. My question is do you really need vpn in there? Is it something that we need to expose to every user? Barely any desktop (or netbook) user uses vpn at all they mainly use normal lan, dsl or mobile so why not add a configure ne
