gnome-docker 0.1 released

[Holger Macht <hmacht suse de>]

GNOME docker 0.1
================

GNOME application for notifying laptop users about the state of their dock
station and the possibility to undock the system via software, either from
the tray icon, or via a hotkey. In future, it will also care about
hotpluggable devices placed on the dock station, such as hard drives and
DVD/CD drives.

It is meant to be well designed and to fit into the GNOME desktop. So an
important aim for gnome-docker is to be shipped with GNOME upstream.

Currently, it has the following features:

 - tray icon showing the current status and with functionality to undock a
   laptop
 - handling of hotkeys to undock a laptop (e.g. FN-F9 on ThinkPads)
 - xrandr support to enable/disable external outputs attached to the dock
   station (experimental, evaluating how it fits there)
 - User notifications about the state of the dock station. E.g.: "Now it's
   save to remove the laptop"

As gnome-docker forges ahead, the linux kernel has to improve and has to
provide sensible date for userspace to make use of, like exporting which
devices are inside a dock station.
