2009 has established open source software and Linux as alternatives to MS Windows. This will continue this year. I think this year is the year of the multi-boot computer. I predict that kids who are just learning how to use the computer are going to grow up operating system agnostics. They just wont care and just use the computer to accomplish their goal. Cool.
Previously ranted about the blind alley Ubuntu 11.04 seemed to be leading us when it comes to some applications not being ready yet for the dropping of system tray. What I should have done is press on. There are posts about editing a white list with a recommended GUI tool to help us out here , here and here . Like everything in Linux, there's a configuration file for it, if you can find it and if you have the inclination to go ninja. If not then there's dconf-editor. Download dconf-tools from Software Center. Navigate to desktop>unity>panel. Add your application in the white list. Then close the window. No save button. mmm. So far I have added Shutter, Dropbox and Keepassx in the white list. Before... After.
