The default theme for F12
by Matthias Clasen
Hey all,
we've been discussing the idea of changing the default GTK+/Metacity
theme in F12. Nodoka has been the default for a while, and it seems to
undergo a major rework now ( http://mso-chronicles.blogspot.com/ ).
We don't want to do a radical visual change, though. The idea is to go
back to the upstream default, Clearlooks.
Let me know what you think.
I'd like to make this change for the alpha.

Gnote now depends on dbus-c++
by Rahul Sundaram
Hi,
The latest version, 0.6.1 has D-Bus support and is in Rawhide now.
dbus-c++ is a very small dependency (317 K) but a heads up for the Live
CD just in case.

desktop spin changes
by Matthias Clasen
Over the last few days, I have make made some changes with the goal of
improving the menus of the desktop spin. Most of this was done by
splitting packages or just excluding packages.
I am not going to list all the changes in detail here, but I wanted to
mention one change: the System menu in F11 has 3 (!) 'About' menuitems,
one of which opens the same program as the 'Help' item right above it.
This has been reduced to just 'Help' and 'About this computer'. 'About
Fedora' is not lost, it shows up as the first document when you open
'Help'.
