Description

Closing #2143 and opening this ticket to incorporate the modifications recommended by the design team.

The new patches are divided into two parts:

(1) improvements to the basic ring layout that get inherited by all of its subclasses
(2) introduction of a new class that incorporates the spiral int the ring.

Note that in the 2nd patch in order to have the ring that morphs into a spiral become the new default without having to modify the user's .gconf settings or favoriteview.py, I have renamed the RingLayout class to BasicRingLayout and use the name RingLayout for the spiral and I use the ring-layout key for the new class.

I had not released that the spiral had already been committed on mainline, so the first patch is a bit more complicated than I had anticipated because it undoes the spiral changes rather than just add the layout enhancements to the basic ring.

Both patches have been tested, applied sequentially.

Replying to garycmartin:

Ping, wondering if these were reviewed made it in to 0.90?

Sorry, I was expecting people would be sending patches to the mailing list. Now it is too late for 0.90.0 but I guess it can go in a subsequent bugfix release.

It would be great if submitters could ping before it's too late.

Sorry about that. I shouldn't impact the user experience, but the maintainers will be happier with this version of the code, I suspect. Whenever it lands, it lands.
