Random amusing commit messages
These are commit messages that amused me. There are probably more
amusing one's that I've missed, but I forgot to save them.
Fortunately, Telsa caught some of those and sent them too me. I'm
hoping that this will spark more creativity in an otherwise dry
mailing list.

Modified files:
gmenu : ChangeLog dialogs.c edit.c gmenu.c gmenu.h
Log message:
This commit makes the Gmenu UI much nicer, but the gmenu code is very
blob-like. It'd be good to restructure it, but that would mean
basically rewriting it, and I don't think that's a good use of time at
this juncture. I will make a TODO for it soon.
Also, I would like to be referred to as "Morlum, Mesopotamian boy
king" from now. Spread the word.
This was Zaphod committing the full text of Don Quixote into CVS. He
then replaced every instance of 'Quixote' with Miguel.

gdk_imlib : ChangeLog utils.c
Log message:
* Take over Imlib maintenance.
* Make Imlib use proper reference counting of memory it owns.
* Fix all memory leaks.
* Run comments through a spell checker.

If you believe all that, I have some prime real estate swamp land for
sale. I really just fixed a leak that has been bugging me.

Log message:
To allow people to understand the somatic experience of writing this
patch, allow me to present a paired analogy.
"Federico, we have this problem "WHERE'S THE MONEY, LEBOWSKY?"
in Imlib..."
"Uh, sure, what is it?" *glurb*
"If it cannot load its palette "WHERE'S THE MONEY, LEBOWSKY?"
file when in pseudocolor mode,
it crashes really fast."
"Uh oh, it should use a default" I think it's down there, let
palette, then." me take another look..."
"Could you fix it to do that?" "WHERE'S THE MONEY, LEBOWSKY?"
"Sure, I'll do it today." *glurb*
"We need it for when Imlib is "WHERE'S THE MONEY, LEBOWSKY?"
statically-linked in programs,
meaning that you most likely
don't have it installed and so
there is no palette file in /etc."
"Sure. Ugh, this code is ugly." "Man, don't do that... not on
the rug..."

Later that day, Eskil did remove_first_sync and disable. But then
he had to catch a plane, and was thus forced to commit it before
testing it properly... the gnome-pilot community wept!
