  2. , Just a little fun with the Cairo Perl bindings. The code is courtesy of the gtkmm tutorial, and can be found here. Update: since the original website went down, here’s the inlined version of the script: package Egg::ClockFace; use warnings; use strict; use Glib qw/TRUE FALSE/; use …
  3. , Or “Flogging a Dead Horse for Fun and Profit” Spatial Nautilus. Again.

  9. , I’ve added printing support - after a bit of struggle with GnomePrint: The output format is stolen^Winspired by Gedit, and the font is hardcoded as Serif, 12; I’ve already added a GConf key to the shipped schema - GConf integration, as well as preferences are still in a …
