I sent some comments on the patch earlier. I have also noticed some
indentation inconsistencies in the patches. Do you have your indentation
set to tabs? vim & emacs should be able to use the mode lines at the
top. If you could also send the changes to multiple files in one patch,
that would be easier for me.


I was wondering, how do you plan to proceed from the
overallocation-prohibited version? What kind of user interaction with
the GUI would we eventually have?


Now I was thinking on how to handle integration of your (future) changes
into planner. There are disadvantages to each approach I can come up
with:

committing to trunk:
- if it takes a long time to finish, it could be in the way for
  in-between releases
- I wouldn't like to litter the code with ifdefs, especially in cases
  where you would rewrite large pieces of old code

committing to a branch:
- subversion < 1.5 doesn't have merge tracking. I haven't been able to
  figure out if Gnome's running 1.5 yet.

distributed version control:
- Gnome doesn't offer it
- I've never worked with it (though I've always wanted to try Git) =)

Regards,
Maurice.
