Free as in speech

I’ve just released pommed v1.1, which adds support for (some) PowerBook laptops. If your laptop is not supported, send us the content of /proc/device-tree/model and we’ll send you a test-tarball.

gpomme received some improvements in this release:

• spanish translation
• now behaves correctly on multiple head setups
• supports loading an alternate theme using -t
• the background tile has been redone, it’s now nice & clean

The original tarball (available on Alioth, pommed project) contains an alternate theme for gpomme, named Tango. It’s not included in the Debian package because the Tango icons from FreeDesktop.org are licensed under CC BY-SA 2.5 which we don’t consider DFSG-free. It’s a nice, clean theme for gpomme which you’ll probably prefer over the default one. Copy it to /usr/share/gpomme/themes and run gpomme -t Tango to use it.

If anybody knows where to find the SVG sources for the Crystal icon theme, I’m all ears.

Thanks to Eduardo Bellido Bellido for the spanish translation and the multiple head patch for gpomme. Thanks to Daniel G. Siegel for the Tango theme.
