Comment 5 for bug 272637

In case it wasn't clear, can I at least assure you that any signs of impatience is meant lightheartedly. UNR works great for me in Hardy so I got bored and decided to play with Intrepid. :-) I'm commensurate in how upset I get with the problems I find. :-) If it bothers me too much I can always boot back to the hardy install...

Bug reports seem to be the only real route of communication either way though, so I can see how it can seem more critical than it's meant. I just wanted to know what was going on. :-) (ie: blog? forum? Sorry if they exist, I haven't found them.)

As for specific wants: go-home-applet, window-picker-applet and maximus all seem to be working OK (netbook-launcher is even usable if you don't mind only having icons!); so in the limited screen real-estate of a netbook, I'm already finding it worthwhile having what there is of UNR. So....

Could we have the human-netbook-theme pretty-please? Is that also broken at the moment or was it just overlooked?

How about, for the short term, giving us a netbook-launcher build that's *statically* linked against libclutter 0.6, so we have a launcher that works until the 0.8 issues are sorted out? Maybe if only in the (currently empty) intrepid netbook remix ppa if policy prevents doing that sort of thing in the proper intrepid repos. I don't think anything else many of us are using is linking to libclutter as well as netbook-launcher so hopefully that wouldn't be too awfully wasteful of resources? :-)

desktop switcher is still a bit new (and still too broken on hardy to be really useful) so I'm not bothered about that. :-)
