[03:09] <hide_> hello
[03:09] <hide_> anyone around
[05:37] <doomlord> do apple pattents on UI moovemment mean linux scale implementation has to have that wobble
[05:37] <doomlord> on the mac when you do mission control or expose the windows move in a straight line... wheras on linux they wobble into place
[05:38] <doomlord> i think apple has a pattent on using a sin function to interpolate..something daft like that
[05:38] <doomlord> the movement on the mac is definitely slicker
[05:47] <doomlord> Another unrelated question
[05:47] <doomlord> anyone know what is involved in adding a thumbnailer to the linux desktop
[05:47] <doomlord> eg adding a thumbnail generator for a particular fileformat
[06:19] <RAOF> doomlord: I'd check out nautilus' thumbnailer; there's presumably a freedesktop spec, too.
[07:14] <doomlord> can ubuntu detect pinch gestures on a 2 finger trackpad
[07:15] <doomlord> i have 2finger scrolling here... wondered if it would be possible to get pinch to trigger expo..
[07:16] <doomlord> at the moment i use corner triggering- but any sort of corner triggering starts to feel odd with multiple monitors attached
[07:25] <lifeless> doomlord: I suspect the answer is 'it depends'
[07:25] <lifeless> doomlord: AIUI detecting pinch requires multitouch vs just 1/2 detection - because you need to tell how far apart the digits are
[08:54] <doomlord> anyone know of a 'desktop pager'which does screen thumbnails
[08:55] <doomlord> maybe
[09:30] <tjaalton> hrm, unity/compiz updates still clear some user settings
[09:30] <tjaalton> like focus-follows-mouse
[09:30] <tjaalton> I was supposed to contact someone about this, but forgot who it was
[10:42] <ogra_> tjaalton, tell me who that was once you remember and i'll join the queue :)
[11:53] <tjaalton> ogra_: :)
[11:53] <tjaalton> didrocks knows, let's ping him on monday
[11:55] <ogra_> yep
[11:56] <ogra_> i had switched my alt-tab behavior to a sane model, thats gone too
[15:03] <jbicha> desrt: I believe I'm going to have to add back the gconf dependency to gnome-themes-standard
[15:06] <jbicha> nevermind, hopefully Qt can be fixed instead
[15:32] <jbicha> it's bug 1094360
[15:32] <ubot2`> Launchpad bug 1094360 in qt4-x11 (Ubuntu) "qt4 apps such as vlc: QGtkStyle was unable to detect the current GTK+ theme unless libgnome2-common is installed" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1094360
[16:14] <desrt> jbicha: oh.  seriously?
[16:14] <desrt> huh.
[16:14] <desrt> Qt takes a GConf depend.... lol.
