Chris Halse Rogers (RAOF)

3-day week due to Easter holidays.

X
- Apply xserver-xorg-video-mga G200EH hardware-enablement patch from upstream (LP: #546149).
- More Nouveau and Intel triage. The kernel-team's rockin' the Intel bugs, but it looks like we'll need to quirk off acceleration in nouveau for some hardware. Hybrid dual-gpu setups seem particularly fragile.
F-Spot
- Hacking on some final polish - a more sensible default viewer size, fixes to the crop editor, and a notification when there's an unsaved image.
- Tracked down a hang bug in the Folder exporter.
