I need to resume working on GtkApplication, but it has been preempted by a lot of stuff, aside from ${DAY_JOB}. libunique is working fine, and some applications are already using it; it needs a couple more features and a 1.0 release. its future, though, it's bound to the toolkit and how to integrate it into GTK - that is a whole new beast. as for the session management code: it's already in libegg and just needs to be merged inside GTK . the gnome formatter will be integrated into gnome-utils 2.21 - it’s a matter of importing it into gnome-utils SVN repository. it was too late to get it into 2.19/2.20, so it had to be postponed.

It has its own esd compatibility layer and binary, and can do per-application volume control on its own too. You can (I do) use PulseAudio to replace esd without help from anything else.

All that was/is left to do is legacy floppy support, encryption (not so hard, just call out LUKS), and fixing up some UI update things. Unfortunately, I never heard anything after I gave it to ebassi, and I recently started a new job and moved across the country (and in the interim my computer was destroyed), so I lost some time there.

“use it to keep a copy of your key chain on your thumb drive”
