I'm posting this question to both the developer's and user's list. Everybody's thoughts and comments are welcomed.
Bug report 676 (http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=676) was submitted requesting that the default window placement be changed from "Smart" to Centered. A patch was provided to make that change.
What do you think?
The configuration option for window placement is found in Control Center, Desktop, Window Behavior, Moving tab.
Please keep the conversation focused to the DEFAULT setting and not what you prefer. The default setting is used when a person uses Trinity for the first time and is still learning to use the desktop. For a default setting, keep in mind new users, users migrating from Windows, traditional window placement, user expectations, newbies, etc.
This discussion is not about the merits of either option but which is best as a default for new users.
Please --- if you don't know what the "Smart" option does, then don't speculate. :)
Thanks much for your time!

I am a member of a local LUG (Linux User Group) here in Anchorage. We meet on
Friday niights for a hands on lab session self support etc.
One comment about bandwidth around the LUG: 'never under stimater the bandwidth of
a station wagon full of tapes' This is a paraphrase of an old saying , hence the
tape refernce?
The poin being, transfering large data sets can be accomplished by loading up
the old auto and driving them, locally, seems like you could also mail a hard
drive, USB stick somwhere in a timely fashion.

Ok Guys, go easy, silly question time.
When building and installing TDE from scratch on a clean, 'X'-less
system, how do I get authentication working? I assume that TDE just
passes on the task to the underlying OS. However, having done a clean
build I don't know how to get the necessary configuration and auth bits
in place, like Pam modules, init scripts etc. When you install from
packages it's all taken care of.
I can (and will) hack about to create the above but just wondered if
there was something ready rolled.
Cheers,
Mike.

Every question is easy if you know the answer!
Has the complete Trinity internet environment gone down now or is it
just me?
Can't seem to access anything Trinity. I was looking for the patch sets
for libcaldav & libcarddav.
Cheers,
Mike.

Still can't get it from the mirror. Is there somewhere I can download it,
or can anyone email it to me?
Thanks.

Hi All,
Having started from scratch again in my quest to build TDE on wheezy,
tdelibs is now failing to compile.
I've built and installed, from Git, as per the wiki (except that
avahi-tqt will not build) and tdelibs fails with;

I've then mirrored exactly what I've done on wheezy in a squeeze chroot
and the results are the same, including the failure of avahi-tqt to build.
As a matter of interest, apart from the 'util' linking issue on wheezy,
tdelibs built ok last week.
Any ideas?
Regards,
Mike.

I made extensive changes to the developer's page at the wiki. I ask that everybody review.
I won't pretend I got everything perfectly correct. Others with more experience need to perform a subject matter expert technical review.
I have a one sentence spot where eventually a link will be added as a gateway to package specific information about building. My hope for those pages will include unique build requirements, using extra include directories, what external packages are required to provide additional functionality, etc.
For that last point, this is not a detailed dependency list. Package managers and upstream maintainers handle those details. I am addressing additional functionality. For example, ocaml is not required to build kalzium in kdeedu, but adds additional functionality when present during building.
Please review the wiki. If uncomfortable directly editing the wiki, please forward corrections to me.
Thanks!
Darrell
