A Gobby document from the Desktop-GDM-upgrade session at UDS (witch is on it's third day today), showes that the facebrowser won't make it into Jaunty (Ubuntu 9.04), but it's planned for Jaunty +1. You will be able to change the graphics and layouts of the facebrowser in the theme, but the behaviors will be hard coded.
Read more about the facebrowser here:

- Ubuntu's OpenGL face browser will bring bling to GDM"
I cannot help but say "let the disappointments begin".
ReplyDeleteAt this rate, other distros just might catch up.
