Using Gpager is really simple :

  • launching it by typing "gpager". It could be done at start in the gnome-session-properties.
  • move it by drag-n-dropping with the middle click.
  • resize it by drag-n-dropping with the right click.

gpager with darkroom theme Pager properties have to be set independently in gconf or by adding a pager to a panel and going in its properties menu (not really handy, I admit).

Dedicating already a lot of time to Getting Things GNOME!, I do not have any plan to further develop Gpager. But I will gladly merge patches or solve small bugs that might be reported.

Testing gpager from trunk is a simple matter of :

  • bzr branch lp:gpager
  • cd gpager
  • ./autogen.sh
  • make
  • ./src/gpager

Alternatively, you can download 0.3 tarball.

I'm open to any suggestion and I really hope to see something similar to gpager in gnome-shell.
