Progress Report: Deployment and lockdown

["Sayamindu Dasgupta" <sayamindu gmail com>]

Hi all,

Last week I released a nice looking video[1] showing the status of my
patch. Take a look at
http://sayamindu.randomink.org/ramblings/2007/06/03/guadec-and-soc-progress-report/
for the video and some background information.

The patch is now much more readable, and it has got Gconf support.
Right now, it allows Nautilus to show the files in a given directory
(specified via Gconf) as read only icons on the Desktop (similar to
Trash, Computer, etc).
All the bugs that I mentioned last week has been fixed and
addition/deletion to the global items directory are instantly
reflected on the Desktop.

The patch is now more or less feature complete, though I'm facing a
strange bug, where  all the links are being treated as directories
(the right click menu gives a "Browse Folder" option, even if the link
is an application launcher). I'm trying to figure out why this is
happening.

Cheers,
Sayamindu
