Re: Stacking of windows (tasklist removed)

Some nice points in that: - Auto resizing windows as they're dragged to the corner. I'd love to see this implemented as an advanced user feature with a control key to enable it. - Snapping applications together. Something that's been suggested before and that I think is a great idea. - Tabbing a

Can't build: error during build phase of mutter

2009-10-12 Thread Ross Smith
Hi folks, I've done a quick google, but although I can find the error, I can't find any mention of a solution or workaround. Can anybody suggest what I could do to get gnome-shell working. I tried running "jhbuild build -a -c", but it ends with this error: make[4]: *** No rule to make target `c

I was getting this error tonight. I don't know why, but erasing my .jhbuild and gnome-shell folders, and repeating the process solved it. On Mon, Oct 12, 2009 at 6:52 AM, Ross Smith wrote: > Hi folks, > > I've done a quick google, but although I can find the error, I can't > find any mention of

Thanks, I couldn't find .jhbuild, but renaming the gnome-shell and mutter folders seems to have forced a new download and it's building fine now. On Mon, Oct 12, 2009 at 3:16 PM, Pablo Marchant wrote: > I was getting this error tonight. I don't know why, but erasing my .jhbuild > and gnome-shell

So in the latest build, clicking the date shows the calendar. Currently it just shows the calendar and that is it. Are there plans to have it work with evolution (or whatever email client)? I've also noticed that the calendar dropdown is available while in overlay but the user menu in the u

Hey all, I gave gnome shell a bit of time today, I've been tuned in to this mailing list for some time and previously built the project a few times out of curiosity. Today I spent a couple of hours using it and wanted to share my feedback: The main issue I found was that I couldn't easily keep tr

As to memory, I noticed this as well, but I am coming to the conclusion that it is using a lot of memory per window/workspace. I noticed that after having it open for 9 hours it was using 12% of my 2GB of memory. Regards Peter Cooper Jimmy Forrester-Fellowes wrote: Hey all, I gave gn
