Chromium in Sid

2010-05-21 Thread Steve Fishpaste
Good morning folks. Why is the Chromium-browser in Sid so old? Chromium has been on the 6.x branch for a couple of weeks now and Debian is still using the 5.x branch. In my opinion we should keep up with the new releases at least weekly. Is this on the agenda to do? Cheers, Steve Toronto --

Hi, I am running up-to-date squeeze on a Dell Latitude D420. I have a trivial problem, but such things bother me :-) The hotkeys for volume and brightness adjustment work out of the box in a GNOME session. However, when I adjust the volume using the hotkeys, I see a nice translucent on-screen dis
