clarifications on article in NC
by Trevor Warren 10 Jul '03

10 Jul '03

Dear Sir, This mail is in reference to your article "BuzzCut", page 12, Network Computing, July 2003. ".............As though the SCO v/s IBM standoff wasn't enough, the Linux battle is going to get murkier as thousands of underlying patented codes from different sources lie within its source. How these patents will affect SCO's claims of intellectual property infringements remains to be seen." This morning was to jolt me so bad that i decided to pen this following email and give your publication a piece of my mind. Sir....these lines as commented in your esteemed magazine don't seem to be well researched. I have been an avid reader for a long time now but such attrocious comments i won't stand for. Besides, i also suggest your publication takes sometime to review the story on how Microsoft post alignment with SCO has got the frailing victim to sue IBM and create the ensuing stir in markets world wide. It just goes to show the kind of cheap tricks mircosoft will play towards creating FUD about the Open Source and Free Software Movement. Rather than get further from the crux of the issue, my humble suggestion would be to give an impartial look to the SCO v/s IBM story in your coming edition since you have already taken the trouble to harness FUD in IT users nationwide with your article. It indeed would help provide readers with clarity on the ETHICS of Microsoft and other Bullies in the market place. PN: * The comments don't represent views of my Employer. * I am not the OFFICIAL MOUTH PEICE mouth peice for the OS-FSF community.

Writes Martin Olivera <martin_olivera(a)yahoo.com.ar> from Argentina: "At first (this mailing list) was intended to organize the Hipatia (www.hipatia.info) participation in the WSF4 (World Social Forum 4). The main objective of Hipatia is the freedom of knowledge, leveraging free software as the key tool to do this. In this way, this list would like coordinate efforts to fulfill WSF4 software necessities (web, mail, communications, news, virtual spaces, anything...) using only free software, cooperating worldwide." WSF4 is to be held in the Indian city of Mumbai (Bombay) in January 2004. Do join this mailing list. It is open to everyone who could participate anyway for this: coordination, local (India-based) support, resources, free software selection/development/adaptation, content manmagement..."

[ILUG-BOM] FYI: Changing order of buttons and command hotkeys in Metacity
by Tahir Hashmi 09 Jul '03

09 Jul '03

Hi all! I use Red Hat Linux 9 with Gnome 2 and till now I was using Sawfish as my window manager instead of Metacity for the following reasons: 1) Metacity doesn't allow "Always on top" kind of functionality 2) Metacity doesn't have kbd shortcuts for running arbitrary commands 3) The close button is right next to maximize so I occasionally ended up closing a window when I meant to max/minimize it. Well, I figured out how to get 2 & 3 done. Fire up Gconf Editor (run command "gconf-editor") and navigate to apps > metacity > general. To modify the ordering of buttons change the value of "button_layout" parameter. Look at the "Key Documentation" pane for information on how to set the values. For mapping commands to keyboard shortcuts, first define commands in apps > metacity > keybinding_commands. You'll find keys like "command_1" through "command_12". Set their values to the commands you want to run. Next, go to apps > metacity > global_keybindings and set the keyboard shortcut for each command_.? as the value of its corresponding run_command_.? key. For example, to lock the screen using key combination Ctrl+Shift+l, do this: - Go to apps > metacity > keybinding_commands - set value of command_2* to "xscreensaver-command -lock" (without quotes) - go to apps > metacity > global_keybindings - set value of run_command_2 to "<Ctrl><Shift>l" (without quotes, with angle brackets) - try Ctrl+shift+l to test your new setting :) * command_1 was set to allow logging off using the Ctrl+Alt+Del key combo, but I suspect it was due my prefs that I set earlier.
