Monday meeting notes

[Marco Martin]

notes for 12/2/2018
present: Eike, Kai Uwe, Bhushan, Roman, Marco

Eike
* [Dashboard] Implemented missing Tab/Backtab keyboard nav in
Dashboard (fixes a reported freeze bug on Shift+Tab along the way)
* [TM] Fixed pinning apps when their .desktop file has spaces in the file name
* [TM] Fixed crash on running apps with a corrupted .desktop file (by
making KRun more careful and not starting a nested event loop from a
task delete we destroy due to an opportunistic startup notification)
** Patch needs another revision
* [General] Working on a prototype for a different activity switching
experience with Marco's help

Kai Uwe
* Did some fixes for BlueDevil and Volume applets
* Some performance improvements in Task Manager (more lazyloading,
e.g. of tooltip delegate)
* Worked a bit on making KWin's tooltips less annoying, they show up
for non-active windows and also have no show delay whatsoever
* Clened up KUrlNavigatorPlacesSelector, straight from Task Manager:
D10329 VDG-approved but I'd like some dev approval also
Diff 10329 "[KUrlNavigatorPlacesSelector] Put categories into
submenus" [Needs Review] https://phabricator.kde.org/D10329
* Cleaner look for file dialog D10325
Diff 10325 "[KFileWidget] Hide places frame and header" [Accepted]
https://phabricator.kde.org/D10325
_: what is different activity switching experience? :)
* And the most exciting thing of them all is something that I've been
working on is gmenu-dbusmenu-proxy
