local merge

716. By Eleni Maria Stea on 2012-11-22

added jay's fix for GroupBox2 from this branch:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~unity-team/nux/nux.rebase-area-xy-rgbvaluator/revision/704#Nux/ClientArea.cpp

715. By Eleni Maria Stea on 2012-11-21

!!work in progress!! the menu contents now appear but there are
still issues with the menupage position

714. By Eleni Maria Stea on 2012-11-20

Paint2DQuadColor function finally calls a fragment
shader that needs the absolute pixel position therefore
we use absolute geometry

713. By Eleni Maria Stea on 2012-11-20

text rendering in tabview needs
absolute geometry :->

712. By Eleni Maria Stea on 2012-11-19

reverted the events geometry

711. By Eleni Maria Stea on 2012-11-19

fixed tabview geometry (work in progress)

710. By Eleni Maria Stea on 2012-11-19

fixed groupbox2 layout geometry

709. By Eleni Maria Stea on 2012-11-19

Fixed captions of GroupBox2
