libsexy: I'm not in favor of including it (see previous mail)

gnome-power-manager: I'm wondering about gnome-screensaver: does it need
gnome-power-manager? There's also the problem that it duplicates the
functionality of the battery applet, but in the notification area... I
think we'd need another release cycle to properly integrate it with the
desktop.

I also thought a bit about libnotify/notification-daemon and to be
honest, I'm starting to hate how I see bubbles popping up every now and
then. This is really wrong. It's easy to break a good desktop experience
with this. This not really libnotify's fault, though.

I think an IRC meeting might indeed help. Here are some other things we
could talk about:

  + release team tasks ;-)
  + what to do with gnome-icon-theme

It doesn't need to be a long meeting, though.
