Hi,


I have modified nautilus, libgnome, metacity, gdm for custom gconf
configurations, relating to themes and backgrounds, icons shown on desktop,
and default icon view to both-horiz.
Gnome-panel had been modified with a custom buttom panel layout that have
Tomboy, gnome-main-menu, show desktop applet and window-list applet. (A
custom gnome-panel .entries file), a custom about distro dialog.
A modified start-here.svg (distributor-logo) for gnome-icon-theme and
tango-icon-theme.
A slightly modified gnome-sessions shutdown dialog, and starts resapplet and
fast-user-switch automatically (both are modified to hide .desktop entries
in the menus), a script that creates a customize nautilus metafile for icon
location of trash (bottom right), A customized icons for ~/Documents,
~/Photos and ~/Music, that is relative to $HOME, and $HOME/Desktop, also
included in the custom scripts is a randomize photo configuration (if not
yet customized) on /usr/share/pixmaps/faces (I know this should be done on
account creation, but I don't know how), and a welcome-center for the
distro.
gnome-volume-manager, that uses banshee, multisync and f-spot on devices.
base-files for a custom lsb-release.

My apologies, I have alot of modified apps. These are from Edgy, with the
latest updates, If it's possible, I will maintain those modified packages
for merging the custom changes with the new updates.
I think that's all that is modified.

Regards,
Joel
