[05:28] <mac_v> DanRabbit: ping
[11:57]  * MacSlow -> lunch
[15:30] <natewiebe13> is this the spot to discuss xsplash?
[15:31] <DanRabbit> if anybody is awake ;)
[15:31]  * DanRabbit --> Skooool
[15:32] <natewiebe13> alright.. i noticed something with xsplash.. if you run xsplash from terminal, once it is finished, it fades into the desktop.. when it runs during boot.. it abruptly shows the desktop.. is it just a bug, or is it planned to be abrupt?
[15:35] <natewiebe13> anyone?
[15:42] <hyperair> natewiebe13: when run in a terminal it still ends abruptly for me
[15:42] <hyperair> perhaps your window manager is donig something funky with it?
[15:42] <natewiebe13> hyperair: not for me.. it crossfades into the desktop very nicely
[15:43] <hyperair> hmm
[15:43] <hyperair> i see
[15:43] <hyperair> try setting -x
[15:43] <hyperair> -x 2 or something
[15:43] <natewiebe13> what does -x change?
[15:44] <hyperair> timeout
[15:44] <hyperair> wait. it seems that when i specify --timeout, it dies halfway no matter what
[15:44] <hyperair> abruptly
[15:44] <natewiebe13> i did "sudo xsplash -x 2" and it still faded out
[15:44] <hyperair> hmm
[15:44] <hyperair> strange
[15:44] <hyperair> it doesn't for me
[15:45] <hyperair> instead, no matter what timeout i give it, it still ends abruptly after the first throb
[15:45] <natewiebe13> i modified mine to look like mrdoob's iteration 3, but i dont think that should make a difference
[15:47] <hyperair> hmm strange. sometimes it fades out
[15:47] <hyperair> sometimes it ends abruptly
[15:47] <hyperair> very strange
[15:48] <natewiebe13> im thinking of filing a bug report
[15:52] <hyperair> go ahead
[16:22] <natewiebe13> hyperair: Bug #435324
