Re: [gnome-flashback] Suppor for hiding maximized window titlebar in Metacity and gnome-applets::WindowPicker

[Sebastian Geiger <sbastig gmx net>]

Hi,

those links point to a ppa. Can you link directly to the relevant patch?

Regarding window picker. Alberts and I have been working on refactoring 
the window picker applet. Thats why some files already have the new wp-* 
prefix and others don't. However neither Alberts nor I currently have 
enough time to finish that work and there are other mode important 
issues like the missing CandidatePopup for Input Methods.

There are a few other small issues currently but they should not affect 
the overall usability too much. One other thing is that icons of new 
windows start a little smaller and then jump to a slightly bigger size 
after a few seconds.

Maybe I will have some time to look into this again during the Christmas 
holidays.

Cheers
Sebastian
