GNOME docker 0.1
================
GNOME application for notifying laptop users about the state of their dock
station and the possibility to undock the system via software, either from
the tray icon, or via a hotkey. In future, it will also care about
hotpluggable devices placed on the dock station, such as hard drives and
DVD/CD drives.
It is meant to be well designed and to fit into the GNOME desktop. So an
important aim for gnome-docker is to be shipped with GNOME upstream.
Currently, it has the following features:
- tray icon showing the current status and with functionality to undock a
laptop
- handling of hotkeys to undock a laptop (e.g. FN-F9 on ThinkPads)
- xrandr support to enable/disable external outputs attached to the dock
station (experimental, evaluating how it fits there)
- User notifications about the state of the dock station. E.g.: "Now it's
save to remove the laptop"
As gnome-docker forges ahead, the linux kernel has to improve and has to
provide sensible date for userspace to make use of, like exporting which
devices are inside a dock station.
