Changing the background depending on the time is much easier. Just change the "source" property of the "Background" components depending on current time. - Apr 21 2013

We are planning to implement fast user switching in the next development cycle. So you can expect it in the coming weeks/months.
I am not sure about implmenting XDCMP, though. Since X is on its way out and there are lots of good display managers out there supporting it. So when SDDM matures I don't expect that there will be much need for XDMCP. It will depend on user demand and developer interest. - Mar 20 2013

We distribute a service file for integration with systemd because that's what me and other developers are mostly using. If you are using systemd and follow the steps in the wiki, it should work automatically. If not, you need to ask your packagers for the integration bits. - Mar 19 2013

Also if you can report the bug into our bug tracker (http://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues) it will be easier to track the status. Bug reports tend to get lost in comments. - Feb 19 2013

And it seems that the source package somehow didn't get updated and was out of sync. I have updated it with the latest version. But content upload part seems a bit weird, I can't remove old content files.
Anyway, if the source package fails please try building directly from github. - Feb 18 2013

I have actually made systemd optional on current master.
Unfortunately, I lack the knowledge to integrate with upstart, somebody with ubuntu knowledge needs to do the work. I asked in the ubuntu community google plus channel for help, but nobody responded. :(

I was thinking of putting a lock/unlock icon at the titlebar too. But I had trouble putting actions into the titlebar. I will try again after RC1. - Dec 20 2010

But, by default, locking plasmoids doesn't mean locking the whole desktop. It just locks the plasmoids. Activities are orthogonal. You can add/edit/delete activities while your plasmoids are locked and for now I would prefer to be consistent with the rest of the desktop.
But saturating the clone/edit/delete buttons (always or when plasmoids are locked) and de-saturating when mouse over might be good idea.
Patches welcome :)

I have fixed this bug in my local copy to show only one instance of rename widget. Bugfix will be in the next release.

I don't have any problems with the pop-ups now. There were some, but they seem to be fixed now. Actually, I am not even sure if they were my fault or something wrong with the betas. But you can be sure that if I see any bugs, I will try to fix them as soon as possible. - Dec 15 2010

You have some nice ideas there!
I agree on the two column layout. On the left there would be usual list of the activities and on the right a big preview with related action icons under. Coool!
Using scroll wheel actions over the icon, may be useful too.
But I don't agree on the double click thing, because I think in plasmoids scrollable areas are also flickable, so no need for a double click action.
Thanks for the ideas! - Dec 15 2010

I think changing the icon to the current activity's icon would make recognizing harder.
The cashew icon is just a temporary one. I am planning to create a nice icon (maybe monochrome too) for the activity manager. Of course any help is appreciated since I am not an artist actually.
And I have something different on my mind for the icons (e.g using screenshots or even live previews if possible and overlaying the start/stop icon on top ;)
Stay tuned for updates! - Dec 15 2010
