Given that Clinton and Obama are allegedly neck-and-neck, I find it fascinating that the blogs I read included 10 or 15 “Vote Obama, OMG he’s so amazing” posts this morning, and not a single “Vote Hillary” (or, for that matter, “Vote Romney”/“Vote McCain”). Apparently Obama has a total lock on the tech/geek vote. (Either that, or Obama is the only person that anyone is actually excited about voting for.)
In a comment on Luis’s latest blog entry, someone suggested having a “GNOME recommended reading list”.
This seemed like a good idea, so I started one.
Dear lovers of XSMP,
(Hey, why’d it get so quiet all of a sudden? Hm… let’s try this again…)
Dear haters of libgnome,
I have committed an initial proposal for EggSMClient. I’m especially interested in having win32 and mac gtk hackers look at the skeletal Windows and OS X backends, to figure out how to make them actually work (at which point someone ought to be able to port something like, say, GIMP to use EggSMClient, and see it pop up the “you have unsaved changes, are you sure you want to quit” dialog at logout time on Linux, Windows, and OS X…)
