==== Window manager ====

* ~~Make the frame~~ a ~~set~~ of ~~panel windows. We will have~~ to ~~keep the current hinting as an option until we decide to drop matchbox~~.

* sugar.graphics.icon needs support for pixbufs #8661. '''(sayamindu)'''

* ~~Support the standard application icon hints~~. We should ~~evaluate if~~ it's ~~practical and possible~~ to use it ~~also~~ for ~~activities, my current feeling is that it isn~~'t.

* ~~Figure out a good semantic to~~ be able to ~~fullscreen activities~~ in ~~a standard~~ window ~~manager like metacity~~. ~~The fullscreen hint is apparently~~ not ~~good enough~~. ~~See [[WindowManagement]]~~.

* jarabe.model.shell should use a SnMonitor instead of dbus to listen for startup notifications. '''(marco)'''

* ~~Support standard .~~desktop ~~files in~~ the ~~home screen ring~~.

* sugar.activity.activityfactory should use SnLauncher to notify startup instead of a dbus call to shell. I don't think it's worth to use GdkAppLaunchContext yet. It's just a tiny layer over libsn and it would introduce a strong dependency on gtk 2.14/glib 2.18. Furthermore we will need to interface directly with libsn for the Monitor anyway. '''(marco)'''

* jarabe.model.shell.Activity should provide the icon as a pixbuf instead of a path (or maybe additionally). '''(sayamindu)'''

* sugar.graphics.icon shoud be able to xo-color pixbufs. We can specify two conventional colors (+ transparency) and replace them with the xo colors (only when there are not other colors in the pixbuf. '''(marco)'''

* jarabe.model.shell.Activity should provide his icon on the base of WM_ICON and SnMonitor::icon_name. '''(marco)'''

* The activity_id X property on the activity window should be completely optional, unless the activity supports collaboration. '''(marco)'''

* sugar.activity should set WM_ICON instead of the bundle_id X property. '''(marco)'''

* jarabe.* should not use the bundle_id X property. '''(marco)'''

* jarabe.desktop.activitieslist and jarabe.desktop.favorites view should additionally look into /usr/share/applications/*.desktop. We might want to use gio + GdkAppLaunchContext here and degrade gracefully on systems with gtk < 2.14. '''(sayamindu)'''

* replace matchbox with a more traditional desktop window manager, with the ability to fullscreen windows when appropriate.
