I have been working on the OLPC project for over 2.5 years so far and I
have never taken the time to really understand much about the underlying
windo manager. I have spent some reading Sugar docs but they were a bit
above my head. They kept referring to GNOME services and specifications
and that ever-referenced www.freedesktop.org site.
There were lots of references to pango, gconf, dbus, and other
mysterious phenomena.
Today I will try to read in its entirety the GNOME platform overview
http://library.gnome.org/devel/platform-overview/stable/ let’s see how
far I get!
