gnome-session 2.4.2
Hey,
NOTE: In order to use the GNOME 2.4 session manager with glib
2.3.1 (or later) you must upgrade to gnome-session 2.4.2 in order
to avoid a bug which causes the session to lock up completely on
attempting to log out. More details at:
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2004-January/msg00527.html
What is it ?
gnome-session contains the GNOME session manager, the GNOME
session manager configuration program and several other session
management related utilities and the GNOME session manager proxy,
which handles basic session management for applications that do not
support XSMP.
What’s changed ?

sussen 0.8
MMG Security announces the release of Sussen 0.8. Sussen is a
security scanner which remotely tests computers or other devices
and provides a report on their vulnerabilities.
There are three (3) parts to the system:
- sussen (client)
- sussen-sensor (server)
- sussen-plugins (security tests)
sussen is the user facing side of the system. sussen is designed
for the GNOME environment. It uses the Gtk+ 2.2 and GNOME 2.4
libraries. sussen is integrated into GNOME, with support for Drag
and Drop (DnD) between Nautilus (GNOME file manager), use of the
GNOME Virtual File System and the GNOME help system.
sussen-sensor is responsible for performing security scans. It
is integrated with GObject, uses Nmap port scanning and has Python
based security tests. It also has support for PAM and
internationalization/localization.
sussen-plugins are the security tests used by both sussen and
sussen-sensor. The tests are written using the Python scripting
language.
*NOTE*: Sussen is not currently suited for production
use. Many features are incomplete or not working at all.
- ChangeLog:
sussen v0.8:
- Re-write of code to better integrate with GNOME &
GObject - More work on user interface
- Start of Bonobo integration
- Added GNOME integration features: Drag & Drop, GConf, and
use of GNOME VFS - Added g_thread() support
- Start of command line version of sussen
- Lots of code clean-up
- Updated build system to use intltool
- Updated help manual
sussen-sensor v0.3:
- Re-write of sensor to better integrate with GObject
- Switch from getopt() to popt() for command line parsing
- Network protocol changes
- Updating the method for loading Python plugins into the
embedded interpreter - Preliminary work on exposing parts of sussen-sensor to the
Python plugins. - Lots of code clean-ups
sussen-plugins v0.3:
- Re-stubbed plugins to reflect work on sussen-sensor 0.3
- Screenshots

BLAM! 0.9999
Good news all Blammers!
Today is a good day for all of you, what you have been feeling
the last couple of days is nothing to be ashamed of. Yeah I know,
BLAM! is no longer just an Application, it’s becoming a Life
Style!
OK, so what has happened since last release. First of all I’ve
figured out that you should probably get Sqlite >= 2.8 (I have
2.8.6), secondly I’ve made it work with GTK 2.2.
I know a lot of you have always wanted to be like James “Snorp”
Willcox, well you know what? NOW YOU CAN!!!!, just read on and I’ll
tell you how…
First I’m going to tell you a bit about how BLAM! has changed
the lives of some miserable creatures of the GNOME dungeons into
persons with a bright future:
Kjartan Maraas:
(who before BLAM took great please in maintaining really old
software)
- “Blam turned my life into floating in a pink bubble of
foam”
Johan Dahlin:
(still next to homeless but at least he has gotten a haircut)
- “before BLAM! I used to be homeless and walking depressed
around in the streets. When I found BLAM I got a job, married and
happiness found a way into my life”
OK, and now to the person you have all been waiting for. How can
you be like Snorp? Of course, it’s a given answer, just install and
run BLAM!
So this is what Snorp has to say about BLAM!:
- “Before BLAM!, I was like a lost sheep in the GNOME world. But
after installing BLAM!, I know what everyone is doing, including
the super-famous Robert Love!”
WHAT!?! Does he want to be like Robert Love? This is
INCREDIBLE (BLAM! BLAM!) (read that like
Golum says GOLUM GOLUM in the movies with a
different name).
So, in the end of the story we are all converging into clones of
Robert Love. Well, all for the better I guess since he has been
doing some cool stuff lately.
So, if anyone is really interested in the changes in this
release:
- Fixed sort order for items
- Support for images on channels
- Nicer output
- No longer require GTK 2.3, yeah this is one important thing!
(still got the spinner though, hmm .. wonder how I can make the
spinner end up in all release notes) - Fixed a couple of crashes
- Made it lots faster with many channels
- Managed to bump the database format two numbers (yeah, what do
you know, you care don’t you?). Anyway, no need to worry, it
should be handled automatically, har har - Removed autoupdate after being banned from Slashdot 😛 (now I
have to wait 72 hours before trying to download there feed again)
sob 72 hours without filling my blam database with junk
sob - Application icon by Dan Taylor, new about image, desktop file
and other cool stuff to make a cool application even cooler. - Don’t download if server says it’s not updated.

gnome-panel 2.5.3
gnome-session 2.5.3
gnome-desktop 2.5.3
Hey,
What are they ?
gnome-panel contains the GNOME panel which is the area on your
desktop from which you can run applications and applets, and
perform other tasks.
gnome-session contains the GNOME session manager, the GNOME
session manager configuration program and several other session
management related utilities and the GNOME session manager proxy,
which handles basic session management for applications that do not
support XSMP.
gnome-desktop contains the libgnome-desktop library which
contains APIs that really belong in libgnome[ui] but have not seen
enough testing or development to be considered stable. It also
contains documents installed as part of the core GNOME
distribution, e.g. the GPL, GNOME’s .desktop files, the gnome-about
program, some manpages and GNOME’s core graphics files and
icons.
