mgedminany devs around?  I've a brief question about a bugfix for https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/77825613:08
ubot5Ubuntu bug 778256 in unity (Ubuntu) "Notification area ("system tray") missing when using dual monitors of different sizes, with their bottoms aligned" [Undecided,New]13:08
mgedminso, unity-panel-service has stdout and stderr redirected to /dev/null14:09
mgedminhow could I add debug prints to it?14:09
hichamif you run unity with debug enabled14:11
mgedminlooks like if I just run 'unity' in an xterm, it will replace the systemwide one -- and also show my debugging printfs14:14

mgedminah, so GetAbsoluteGeometry/GetRootGeometry do not do what I expected they would do...14:19
* mgedmin about gives up trying to understand the unity panel14:42
dlbike76Hello.  Where are the laucher icons stored?14:52

mgedminoh, hey, bug fixed -- my previous test must've been in error15:01

mgedminoh, right, UDS is happening now... not a good time to go looking for developers on IRC ;)15:24
macoOne of my coworkers is using Unity and said he finds it difficult to see which window is highlighted on super+W (scale) but that there's a Scale Addons plugin for Compiz that lets you tint the highlighting.  He now has it set to a semi-transparent Ubuntu-orange so that it's easier to figure out which window is the currently-selected one.17:11
macoI can't figure out which UDS session a "can the default settings be changed to be like this?" request should go in17:11
macoshould add he's willing to do the legwork in preparing patch to change the default settings if the correct package could be pointed out17:12
hichamI am trying to build unity without utouch support, but it seems impossible17:25
Omegamaco: I also found this to be a problem, I changed the optacity.17:34
vishmaco: its probably worth filing a bug for each issue you find needs changing..17:54
macovish: would that be a papercut?17:54
vishmaco: if its a Unity bug, in unity17:54
macovish: but that's about the compiz default settings in plugins other than unity17:55
vishmaco: also open an 'Ayatana Design' task for the bug, if its a design issue it needs to be approved there17:55
macoshould it still go there?17:55
macook17:55
vishoh, then compiz + Ayatana design17:55

bobstayI have a unity question. I have two browser windows open. I minimize one of them because I don't want it for the moment. I switch to another app. I want to switch back to my browser, so I click its icon in the Unity dock. It *always* un-minimizes the minimized browser window rather than the one I actually wanted. This seems utterly counter-intuitive. Why does it do this, and how can I change it?18:25
dlbike76Hello, what package should a bug in the unity dash be reported against?18:52
