Nautilus Begins To Change For GNOME 3.0
,----[ Quote ]
| While GNOME 3.0 will not be released until
| September 2010, many of the GNOME packages
| are beginning to change in preparation for
| this major overhaul of the GNOME desktop
| even though the GNOME 2.30 release is still
| ahead of us. While Zeitgeist, G-Streamer,
| Clutter/Mutter, and GNOME Shell grab most of
| the attention, the mature Nautilus file-
| browser is receiving some improvements too.

| One of the other hot topics for the 4.4
| release of the KDE Workspaces has been the
| use of JavaScript. With 4.4, you can define
| the defaults for a Plasma Desktop layout
| using JavaScript as well as change the
| layout of a Plasma Desktop session at
| runtime either interactively or via scripts
| that get run at startup. (There is
| documentation here, but we really should
| have an article based on that in the
| Techbase Sys Admin section; anyone up for
| writing that?)

| With 3.0 on the horizon, it made me wonder --
| when was the last time you looked at GNOME?
| This open source desktop project actually
| celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2009
| (March, 2009). It had intended to release the
| much ballyhooed 3.0 version this year, but
| for various reasons, decided the latest
| release, available in October, would be
| better off named GNOME 2.30.

| The second beta release of KDE Software
| Compilation 4.4 is coming up in about a week
| and a half. Itâs a long name for a release,
| but it carries with it additional meanings
| and allows emphasis in important areas which
| were not as strongly emphasized before.

Hands-on: Plasma, KWin improve in KDE SC 4.4 beta 1
,----[ Quote ]
| There are a number of more sophisticated
| KWin changes that are under active
| development but probably won't arrive in
| KDE SC 4.4. I'm particularly enthusiastic
| about a project that was undertaken by
| developer Nikhil Marathe which will
| ultimately add dynamic window tiling, so
| that KWin can be used like Ion and other
| keyboard-oriented tiling window managers.
| It's still at an early stage of
| development, but it shows considerable
| promise.
|
| Several new applications will debut in 4.4,
| including a new blogging tool called
| Blogilo. The tool, formerly known as Bilbo,
| is designed to give users a way to manage
| and post content to blogs that use the
| Metaweblog API, including Wordpress,
| MovableType, and Blogger. Its built-in
| content editor has optional WYSIWYG support
| and spellchecking. Due to its broad
| assortment of capabilities, Blogilo is
| arguably the most feature-rich native
| blogging tool on the Linux platform. It's a
| particularly useful tool for users who
| write multiple blogs and want to manage
| them through a single interface.

Is Tabbed Windows Going To Be The Next Big Thing?
,----[ Quote ]
| With the release of KDE SC 4.4 Beta 1,
| tabbed windows is now available through its
| windows manager KWin. This raises the
| question, is tabbed windows going to be the
| next big thing after tabbed browsing?
|
| Tabs as a means of cleaning up the UI is by
| no means a new concept. It dates back to
| 1997 when NetCaptor, the first browser
| supporting tabed browsing was released.
| However, the concept really took off when
| Mozilla Firefox introduced it.
