Re: [gnome-flashback] Issues with gnome-flashback on Ubuntu 16.04

[Sebastian Geiger <lanoxx gmx net>]

I have been planning to finish work on the keyboard stuff before Ubuntu 16.04 will go into freeze. So that 
Dmitry can still package it for 16.04. Currently I think I will find the time during the Christmas Holidays. 

So it will hopefully be ready in early January. 

Cheers
Sebastian
