Riddell\sh: could do12:01
\shRiddell: ok..just testbuilding the experimental packages of new upstream sip4-qt3 + pyqt412:01
\shRiddell: short question why did you remove the python-elemtree?12:06
\shRiddell: as the python-qt4 bin package consists of py2.4 + py2.5 version as it seems, wouldn't it be better to suggest the python-elemtree package?12:07
Riddell\sh: did I?  I don't even know what that is12:08
Riddellmornfall: synced from incoming12:08
\shRiddell: or should be force the use of py2.5 as build target only? (setting XS-Python-Version in debian/control to 2.5)12:08

ubottuLaunchpad bug 186729 in kio-umountwrapper "Cannot uninstall kio-umountwrapper" [Undecided,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/18672921:08
fdovingRiddell: the whole problem is that kio-umountwrapper wasn't updated for the removal of dolphin/d3lphin, so it kind of expects one file from dolphin to be around. and it doesn't depend on it.21:09
fdovingso when d3lphin, or konqueror for that matter, is removed before kio-umountwrapper, it'll break.21:11
fdovingand it's my fault.21:11
fdovingi belived i made a fixed package with the depends at some point.21:12
fdovingRiddell: http://frode.kde.no/ubuntu/intrepid/kio-umountwrapper/21:13
fdovingi pointed to that url in one of my comments to the bug.21:13
fdovingit should be pushed to hardy-updates before upgrades to intrepid starts, to prevent chaos.21:15
smartermmh, chaos21:18
fdovingyeah, for those who remove dolphin upgrades will stop at some point, when/if kio-umountwrapper is removed.21:19
fdovingehm, for those who have removed dolphin, and then try to remove kio-umountwrapper, that is.21:20
fdovingso, kio-umountwrapper needs to depend on dolphin and konqueror, then it's removed first if one of those are uninstalled.21:21
fdovingi made the .debdiff for this 4th of may.21:22

Riddellall ubuntu22:41
seeleok cool22:41
Riddellseele: what's this for?22:41
seeleRiddell: trying to figure out what screen size we should be designing for as a desktop22:41
seeleRiddell: nuno wants icons + text instead if icons/text22:41
seelebut 1024 is a bit too small for some applications (but it is dubious if they should have text with the icons at all)22:42
seelesome apps it makes sense for, such as okular22:42
seeleplus, when you do icons + text, you use less vertical space22:42
seelewhich means more real estate for laptop users22:42
yuriy__what if it was dependent on how many things are in the toolbar?22:42
seeleyuriy__: that is another possibility22:43
seelefor example, kmail probably doesnt need icons + text, nor does koffice22:43
seelekonqueror.. i'm not sure.  i think we could probably do just icons for that too22:43
yuriy__i'm just glad the toolbar issues are resolved, according to ereslibre's blog and hope that gets backported22:44
seeledolphin looks pretty nice with icons + text too22:44
smarteryuriy__: awesome! that thing was driving me mad22:44
seeleRiddell: screen size will also effect what default plasma widgets we should put on the desktop in ibex22:45
seeleand what their default size is22:45
smarterseele: maybe it could be automagically changed according to the resolution?22:46
seelesmarter: that is something we are considering too.. but that could effect screenshots in documentation22:46
smarterI always disable icons+text on my EEE(800x480)22:47
