Nice blog plug and happy birthday in advance!

Will GNOME 2.20 be part of Gutsy Gibbon?

My Ubuntu's been down and out the past several months and I'm putting off fixing/reinstall until the next version is ready in October. Been too lazy to keep up to speed.


EDIT: OK been googling and it sure looks like Gutsy will have GNOME 2.20 (the six month release cycle of both projects coincide -- jolly good!)

Yes! I'm already running Gutsy and it's shipping the latest development version (2.19.X)

If you like it you could digg it as a birthday present :-)

It was mentioned in the digg's "Top 10 in All Topics" but now it doesn't have enought "digg" for being in the TOP 10

And comments/suggestions are more then welcome!

Happy Birthday! I bet you are starting to feel old now that you are in your thirties. ;-)

In case anyone is interested, the reason you can't take a screenshot of a media player playing a video is because of Hardware Overlay (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_overlay). Basically the player will create a near black colored box and when the video is playing, the graphics card will render the video over that color. The reason this is done is because it is much faster and you gain better performance than directly trying to render the video in the same memory space as all the other graphics on the screen. In fact, you can actually take advantage of this and make MS Paint play a video (http://www.xtremevbtalk.com/archive/index.php/t-234306.html). I'm sure you can do the same on Linux, though I'm not sure of the exact procedure.
