Mirco Müller (MacSlow)
Spec-related work (gdm-face-browser):
- trying to solve an "unsupported version 0 of Verneed record"-error from svn while updating gdm from subversion (probably from failing harddisk, see below)
- problems with enter/leave-events on actors to achieve "pulsating" on mouse-overs
- clutter_effect_*() turned out to be not flexible enough to allow looping timelines, had to move to full-blown setup of alpha/behaviour/timeline
- layout-algorithm not fully working yet, bounds of surrounding rectangle are sometimes exceeded
- drop-shadow rendering a bit too heavy, need to restrict it to using only two additional images
Misc:
- needed to replace failing harddisk in my desktop-machine, had to move much data between partitions, evolution- and browser-settings still not moved yet
- update of my laptop to linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-16 caused it to be non-bootable, took some time to solve this
