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.
