[3ddesktop-dev] Re: 3ddesktop 0.2.8

Hi

I just saw that this mail never got to the list because I sent it from
another account. Sorry guys!

And another thing just popped into my mind: I made a small patch which *may*
be interesting: It's about mirroring the current desk to the other ones
when the daemon is being launched. If all of your desks look similar, that
may be a nice thing since you don't have to acquire at all. The patch is
attached.

I'm sorry I could not answer earlier. I'm in Moscow right now and it was
quite diffcult to get everything I need to work on the debian package
(internet connection, power adapter ect.). But now I did it (actually Pierre
Habouzit made the major part of the work), and I hope it
will be built and uploaded soon. for those who can't wait or who want to
check the package: http://www.phys.ethz.ch/~mweyland/3ddesktop/

As from 2.8.0-1, I'm using dpatch for patches and I added a small
patch for that. So you will have --version on both 3ddesk and 3ddeskd if
you're using the debian binary package or if you're compiling from the
debian source. Other patches are:

01_gcc34.dpatch: Enable compilation with gcc 3.4
02_comments.dpatch: Correct some comments (not worth mentioning, though)
03_help.dpatch: Add --changespeed and --zoomspeed options to the usage
                screen.

04_version.dpatch enables --version, the patches can be found in the
debian/patches subdirectory if some developers are interested. We have some
manpages for the programs too, maybe they could be distributed with the
upstream package in the next release.

Best regards and sorry for the delay

Mathias
