Krake  | 
A slight delay of my flight from Düsseldorf to Graz gives me time to recap the awesome time at the Desktop Summit 2011 in Berlin. Having been part of the programme committee I was looking forward to see at least a small subset of the talks live, though I hope I will have the opportunity to see many more once the videos have been processed and are available online.

Dolphin Bazaar Integration

At the Desktop Summit it was pointed out that Bazaar lacked integration with Dolphin. Of course Bazaar's main GUI is the cross platform Qt based Bzr Explorer.

Screen Locking in Fedora Gnome 3

I wanted to try out Fedora 15 with Gnome 3 running under VirtualBox on my iMac before I went to the Berlin Summit.
