Calls for packages for GNOME 2.10 have gone out, I've been playing with the betas, and I have to say, melikie

Particularly on my "rock on!" list at the moment is gnome-volume-manager - a hyper-schweet piece of code if ever I saw one... I plug in my USB drive, and low, it is mounted, appears on my desktop, and a Nautilus window opens displaying its contents. umount? No, simply unplug it! (Not even the Less Free OS can do that - right click the systray icon, stop the drive, then unplug!). Pop a CD in the drive, and gnome-cd appears and starts playing, a DVD, and xine appears. When I plug in my camera, I am asked if I want to import my images, when I say yes, gtkam starts.

Apparently, I'm the first person to run Beagle on an encrypted filesystem! YES! In your face, world!
