sbalneavI'm getting a real education in GTK programming, let me tell you :)04:22
ograsbalneav, and we should probably make it read something like LDM_THEME so its possible to override the default theme from lts.conf04:23
ograelse you would have to run update-alternatives and ltsp-update-image all the time04:23
ograand it would make per cliet themeing possible ...04:24

ograwell, i'm not a fan of the new fusa applet06:30
ograseems so silly on the live dsktop06:31
LaserJockogra: yeah, I haven't tried it yet, but ...06:31
ograbut seb urgently wants to keep it there06:31
ograit doesnt work on ltsp either06:31
LaserJockogra: well, seb128 said he needs to hack on something to get it to not die if it's not installed06:31
ograso i'm inclined to throw it out completely06:31
LaserJockit was off, but then stgraber reported that the LiveCD gives an error when you load up06:32
ograelse we need to hack up ldm to create ~/.Xauthority06:32
LaserJockI guess because the applet is in the default panel profile06:32
ograit was added over night06:32
ograthe error is gone06:32
