Thanks for the tweaks.

I threw in some more quick touches to Slideshow.py, as well. That
program doesn't really serve much purpose, but it could come in handy as
an ugly, uncommented demonstration of a functioning application of the
content. (Although it is missing the all-important hooks into the
slideshow at present; the slideshow should know when installation is
finished).
Removed enable-developer-extras, changed the GUI to look like the
mockups and tinkered around with extra little things.

Anyway, sounds like a plan! Thanks for this, Evan :)
I'm going to strip out the (now unused) screenshots from trunk, then I
guess it will be basically ready (in a technical sense at least) for the
archive. (Except the localization stuff, but strings are completely
unfinished as it is).


Thanks,
Dylan


PS:

For those concerned about the screenshots, they are still very much
alive here:
code.launchpad.net/~ubiquity-slideshow/ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu/screenshots

I think that could be morphed into an interesting bit of promotional
material in the mean time.
