The users list has been very quite lately, so I don't have the feeling there is so much noise... But if there are people who just want to hear about new releases this would be a good idea.

I believe that it's a good idea as long as the new list be a lowest-traffic list, so the people who subscribe to that list, don't get flooded (even in terms of thuban-list at ..) When you create such a list, please document its charter as well, so that people know what kinds of announcements they'll have to expect. Regards, Joey -- It's time to close the windows.

Maybe some of you already have hit this problem? Nothing to worry about (you only get a traceback but can continue to work). The fix will be in 1.0.1.

Now we have a Announcement mailing list [1]. I know that thuban-list has a moderate traffic at the moment, but that always can change all of a sudden so it is not good to subscribe here if you just want to know about important news. Yes, we have the freshmeat entry and it is always kept up to date. But there only new releases are reported while it could be interesting to know about a new wonderful extension, a user/developer meeting or such things. I've described the policy in detail [1], so people should know whether they want to subscribe. Thanks for the valuable hints you send me. Hope this way I satisfy all suggestions.

Should I subscribe the thuban-list to the thuban-announce? I think yes, unless noone objects.

Message-ID: <34543.164.15.134.161.1082647471.squirrel@164.15.134.161> Hello, In Thuban CVS with xfce4 on Debian testing/unstable the main window always stays behind other open dialog windows, even when I click on it or Alt-Tab through the windows. I find this quite annoying as sometime you want to try out a change in symbology and look at the map without having to close all the dialog windows. This is no problem on a big screen, but when the screen is a bit smaller, most of the map is hidden and you can't see it. I imagine this is just a simple window property setting that shouldn't be to hard to change, or ?

I find this quite annoying as sometime you want to Not sure if it helps, but I've had a similar problem when fiddling with modal/non-modal dialog boxes recently (fvwm2 used as window manager, maybe also icewm). That's not the case anymore, though, since proper classes are used now. This behaviour seems to be intended for some dialog boxes that are intended to be opened modal without the user withdrawing it without closing it. There are clases for modal dialogs and for non-modal dialogs which have this behaviour pre-defined. > try out a change in symbology and look at the map without having to close > all the dialog windows.

My graphic screens are too small about always... I feel with you. :) Regards, Joey -- Linux - the choice of a GNU generation.

Online registration and more information is available at http://www.omsug.ca/osgis2004/. Also, we would love to hold a workshop on Thuban at the conference. Is there a power user who would be interested in giving a workshop? This would be an excellent opportunity to show off the features of Thuban to an interested audience. Currently we have workshops planned for OpenEV, PostGIS, and GRASS, but would love to have Thuban included as well. If you are interested, or could recommend someone for this, please email me directly. I use Thuban and would love to see it at the conference. thanks everyone, jeff -- Jeff McKenna OSGIS/MUM 2004 Organizing Committee Member
