      Sometimes I worry about the mental state of Mallum.  Under continued
      pressure, I'm caving in to his demands. Although I refuse to include the
      <tt>&lt;marquee&gt;</tt> tag.

      <a href="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/RenderingProject/aiglx">AIGLX</a>
      is very, very interesting.  I think this is a superior solution to the
      current Novell hack-fest (Xegl is where the love is but that doesn't work
      at all, and Xglx is just <strong>so</strong> sick) that I'm very interested in having a
      play with this.

      As <a href="http://butterfeet.org/blog">Mallum</a> said, the Great 2006
      Novell vs Red Hat War Of The Eye Candy has started.  The the battle commence!

      Today I finally got annoyed enough with Ubuntu's GTK+ defaulting my file
      choosers to <tt>$HOME/Documents</tt> rather than <tt>$HOME</tt>.  I can
      see how this would be useful, but Documents contains a few files, whereas
      I generally want to get into ~/Pictures, or ~/Programming.  Luckily
      sebuild saves the day, by telling me about
      <tt>GTK_DEFAULT_FILECHOOSER_DIR</tt>.  One quick export later:
    </p>
    <blockquote><code>export GTK_DEFAULT_FILECHOOSER_DIR=$HOME</code></blockquote>
    <p>
      And voil&agrave;, it works.  Now please can the comments section of this
      post not turn into a <q>new GTK file chooser sucks arse d000dz old one
      r0xkkz</q>.  You try explaining to a non-geek why <q>parent
      folder</q> is <tt>..</tt>, and why <tt>.</tt> is in the folder list at
      all.
