Okay, so I now have about three weeks off before we head down to Soul Survivor, so here's a little list of things I'm going to try to do during that time. Note that some or all of these may end up not happening depending on what else ends up eating my time, so don't depend upon them till they happen:

• Get more GNOME apps properly translated to en_GB as we move toward 2.12
• Try to get the latest 2.11.x release, including GTK+ 2.7.x built on SuSE 9.3 for insane testers to play with
• Okay, that's quite a short list, but the second one certainly will take a lot of time...

Oh yes, I've enabled RENDER and Composite in my X server, and I'm now running xcompmgr to do nice drop shadows and window fading. I have to say, it's rather gorgeous. Looking forward to some of these nifty features making their way into mainstream WMs.
