This is a joke, right?

In Firefox on Gutsy, when my mouse is over an embedded YouTube clip, using the wheel to scroll doesn't work. So if I'm scrolling down and hit a clip, it stops scrolling.

For reasons related to theoretical new laptops and a misbehaving virtual machine, I'm in the early stages of an extended linux run. Expect more posts like this. I was going to say something about ditching GNOME, but that will wait another day or two and I'll make a list of wants and needs for a desktop environment and then see what comes closest.

To do tonight:

Get sound working in MythTV (ongoing)
Setup stunnel wrapping to get mail-notification working for IMAP

(no subject)

How is it that I have a ton of Edgy CDs around, a Feisty disk, a Hoary disk, but I can't find my Gutsy disk when I need it?

Recompiling mail-notification with SSL support

( Compiling is Scary )

Linux Progress

Gave up on stunnel. Recompiled mail-notification with SSL. Now it's just a matter of telling it which mailboxes to look in. I wonder if I can use a wildcard (nope).

Needed the Gutsy disk to install things to compile. Couldn't find it, burned a new one.

Still need to get sound working in Myth. Also Amarok. Rhythmbox and totem both crash, hence Amarok. But it doesn't output audio. Yet.

I can switch desktops by mouse-wheeling on the background. Why can't I switch desktops by mouse-wheeling on the little desktop panels on the tool bar?

Would it be so hard to implement Alt-Tab switching across desktops?

I should go to bed and not play with the Gnome art manager. Especially if I'm going to be ditching GNOME.

EDIT: added recompile link 5/12/08
