Can we please have AWN in the repos for Hardy. This is a great app and it should be easier to install than at present.

Oh man it just missed it for Gutsy. Well I'm glad people have it in mind for Hardy.

A dock program with compositing support.

It doesn't HAVE compositing support, it NEEDS compositing support. Also, only stable versions should be included. Since 0.2 was released, AWN would be a good inclusion for those who want an OSX-like environment.

I couldn't agree more, Awn is fantastic. If it were up to me I'd insist it installed by default when desktop effects were turned on. I realise that is really stupid though.

I don't need awn, so I would prefer it be off by default. But as long as you give me a way to deactivate it and leave the GNOME panels, then I would be happy.

No one mentioned the amount of resources it needs...

It DOESN'T need that much resources if you know which compositing manager to use. If you use XFCE, you already have your compositing manager built in. If you are on another environment, you can use xcompmgr, which will give you an extremely lightweight compositing manager. :)

between 0-1 % cpu and less than 10mb. a bargain.

I don't think any one is implying that it should be set up by default. Just that it makes it into the repos so it can be installed with "sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator" instead of adding repos or compiling from source.

This is excluding the applets though, My awn is taking 4.6mb ram and the two appets I have a taking between 1.5 and 3mb ram each. Thinking about just two weeks ago with Feisty I had about 8 applets, that's a close to 20mb.
