Karmic feature work:

• desktop-karmic-symptom-based-bug-reporting: no progress this week

• hal deprecation:

  • updated gvfs gphoto porting to David Zeuthen's feedback, sent upstream again

• Bug fixing: apport, devicekit-disks, gvfs
• More i915 debugging and feedback to upstream; working really well now on my GM945
