<div dir="ltr">11 replace matchbox with a more traditional desktop window manager, with the ability to fullscreen windows when appropriate.<br></div></blockquote></div><br>I've been using the Awesome window manager[1] on my XO lately for standard X apps, perhaps it should be up for consideration?<br>
<br>It's really fast and light, supports a mix of fullscreen and floating windows plus unlimited virtual desktops. It also has a tiling mode for people who want that, but it's completely optional. I use it as a tabbed window manager and ignore the tiling. Recent versions are also scriptable using Lua, which isn't Python but at least is very lightweight and fast. <br>
<br>Another thing to consider is adding support in Sugar for various <a href="http://freedesktop.org">freedesktop.org</a> standards, like system tray applets. If someone is using Skype, it would be great for them to get their status icon in the Frame, and have the Frame automatically appear when they get a call. Same goes for an email client with a new mail notification feature.<br>
