[Bug 1303370] Re: FFE: Fix onboard to small in unity-greeter (LP: #1297695)

[Francesco Fumanti]

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for looking at it and especially for telling me that it does not
need an FFE because it is a bug fix. Could you tell me if I get it
right? Though the wiki talks about bug fixes in the pages of the FFE, I
should only call it FFE if the features have changed; correct?

Moreover, I wonder now, whether the following sponsorship request should have been called an FFE or not: 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/onboard/+bug/1289592

I suppose that it cannot be called a bugfix only release because it adds support for scaling factors > 1. The fact, that the support was introduced to solve a bug matters less than the fact, that it has introduced a new feature. Can you confirm? 
* Add initial support for org.gnome.interface scaling-factor > 1 (LP #1283491)

Cheers

Title:
  FFE: Fix onboard to small in unity-greeter (LP: #1297695)

Status in “onboard” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Hi,

  Onboard 1.0.0 has improved its appearance in unity-greeter by not
  stretching anymore its window over the whole width of the screen; it
  now uses an aspect ratio, where the letter keys on it have a shape
  similar to a square.

  It turned out, that the nearly squared keys are too small for certain people:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/onboard/+bug/1297695

  Thus, we have decided to change a value in the onboard-defaults.conf
  file, that contains the system defaults for Onboard. I replaced the
  line xembed-aspect-change-range=[0, 1.15] with the line xembed-aspect-
  change-range=[0, 1.6] in the system-defaults.conf file in order to
  have letter keys that are a bit wider. (The next minor release of
  Onboard might have a better solution for this issue. )

  Could you please have a look at the provided debianisation for trusty
  and upload it to the repositories of Ubuntu if everything is allright?

  Thanks in advance for taking it into account.

  Cheers,

  Francesco
