gtg and hamster

On another note. hamster (from the opensolaris.org repository) and gtg work like a charm together! All you need to do is activate the co-delivered plugin in gtg's preferences... and off you go.

getting thing gnome for opensolaris

I've had my mind set on a task manager for gnome for sometime already. GTG seems like a nice quick and dirty tool which doesn't get in the way of actually getting things done. Getting it to actually work was another. Turns out this is rediculously simple:

Apart from python 2.6 there's just 1 single dependency: configObj.

To install: download (I chose the zip file).

unzip, modify the setup.py to have as a first line:
#!/usr/bin/env python

then
$ pfexec ./setup.py install

done.

For gtg: download
gzcat gtg* |tar xvf -
cd gtg...

$ pfexec ./setup.py install

All done.

Installs into /usr/bin

so
$ gtg

and on your way!
