“ Then came the unpleasant part. Ok, I’m done looking at Moblin, I’m ready to go back to the normal Mandriva KDE desktop. Just logout and select a KDE session, right? Well, of course, this is Moblin, so there is no “Leave/Logout/Reboot/Shutdown” button. […] I will say this again about Moblin. They might think it is “cool”, or “chic”, or “new wave” to make a system without a Logout/Shutdown selection, but it is a mistake. You think you are being very “modern”, but what you are doing is making things less obvious, and therefore more difficult, for a lot of people. It wouldn’t hurt anything, other than perhaps a few over-inflated egos, to add one more bizarre hieroglyphic to the menu bar, and put “Lock Screen / Logout / Suspend / Reboot / Shutdown” on there!!! End of Rant.
Mandriva One 2010.0 (including Moblin UI) - ZDNet.co.uk | if you need to logout to move to another desktop environment then: a) you’re not the Moblin user target and b) you may also want to experience a horrible death, consumed in a chemical fire. that would be all.

#cairo can be a weird place at times

torchie: hey, what are people doing these days to render cairo stuff in opengl? glitz is apparently dead
ickle: paint. preferably, water-based.
torchie: and there's like oo information on it
ebassi: image backend, upload the data to a GL texture
ebassi: torchie: but water-based colors are still preferred
torchie: so i can't use oil based paint?
ebassi: torchie: oil-based colors will saturate the GPU
ickle: advanced image backend: auto-uploads damaged region to persistent GL texture
ickle: advanced gl/drm backend: renders directly to shared texture/renderbuffer
ebassi: skynet backend: sends the data back from the future (but every 10 pixels uploads, one will try to kill Sarah Connors)
ickle: fight-club backend: do not talk about the texture
