This turned into something of a tricky question to answer. XNU (another _NU self-referential pun), a fusion of FreeBSD parts and Mach (a microkernel from Cargnegie Mellon), was developed as part of...
It's possible that they both start life as the same kernel (some version of the Linux kernel), though it's likely that the Ubuntu maintainers maintain patches (shared and/or different) for what...
It is somehow worth his time to be involved; the karmic value alone practically guarantees some form of benefit. It is likely that he has received donations or job offers as a result of his work, so,...
In order for this to work, you might need to first transfer one track to your iP(od|hone) with iTune. It sucks, but it has worked on the devices I've tried.
Hey, this has been a pretty annoying issue for me these past few months. Unfortunately, the ATI card I've got in my laptop has drivers which broke Gaussian blur functionality after version 9.11. It...
My computer stopped being able to sleep after I followed one of the steps for getting sound to work by creating the file /etc/pm/sleep.d/fixsound with contents "alsa force-reload". After I removed...
Sorry, I missed that you were using vertical panels...
it's the same story though.
You'll have to use an image which tiles gracefully (or an image the width of your panel).
The default behavior of gnome-panel appears to be tiling in x and and y when an image smaller than the...
Here are some examples of solutions which don't involve gnome-panel...

I'll post a series of images conveying the points.

That looks helpful. It's not directly related, but I might be able to get some useful information from it.
The linked article appears to be talking about a uniform way for panel applets to have...
It would be nice to be able to make non-functional interface widgets transparent.... something like Type=Background. I'm not sure how universally feasible that is, but the gnome-panel, it would make...
I haven't noticed anything strange with the screen dimming / screen saver. On battery, after a little inactivity, my screen will dim and stay dim until some sort of input event. It then returns to...
I've narrowed my searching down to two functions in panel-background.c:
- get_desktop_pixbuf
- composite_image_onto_desktop
Somewhere in these functions should be the key to a non-obscuring...
The grepping-for-transparency trick isn't working for gnome-panel, so it looks like I'm in for some translating.
The relevant files in gnome-panel appear to be panel-background.{c,h} and...
I might as well document some of what I've done.
It really doesn't matter where development happens, but I'm doing mine in /usr/local/src. I've made one of my groups the owner of this folder and...
I've searched around as extensively as made sense, but I keep finding the same old, non-solutions. I'll explain the problem:
gnome-panel doesn't seem to be aware of desktop compositing. To see an...
Things have been working off/on for me, but I think I'm getting a better understanding of the factors involved.
The way to ensure proper functioning:
upon restarting, use the touchpad as the...
I wish I knew exactly what worked, but I'm just glad that it worked. I kept trying to install/reinstall the driver/firmware release from HP and N-Trig in my virtual machine. Sometimes it would say...
No, those results are from the Vista 64-bit firmware. I'd forgotten that I'd downgraded once upon a time because the Windows 7 firmware exhibited this strange pen behavior.
I talked to HP support,...
Here is the version info displayed under Windows 7:
Driver version: 1.26
Firmware version: 4.5.31.8.5
Software bundle version: 2.184
I think the number of interest is the firmware version....
Yeah ... I get where you're coming from, but the whole point of this was to use FOSS. I can't really complain though, as I haven't been an active coder.
Alright, it's capable of working with a *slight* amount of pressure. Once the threshold is reached, it appears to stop detecting input.
Touch started acting up on me. It would track and detect for...
I noticed it thinks I was using 2.6.27, but the touch/pen quit working when I built/installed it. I think this is why I downgraded firmwares. The pen is acting very weird ... it has to be pressed...
Whenever I try to build something from the 0.8.5-x family of linuxwacom, I don't get a 2.6.31 folder under the source directory... I don't know what I'm missing...
