Hi all, I am porting an application from StatusIcon to use AppIndicator. This particular app uses RandR extension to let the user manage multiple screens, resolutions and layouts. Right now I generate the menu on the fly when I get the popup-menu signal, which works flawlessly. This doesn't seem to be possible with AppIndicator, could someone with experience in AppIndicator with it could suggest me a good alternative?
Another "clean" alternative, would be to somehow try to listen for changes in the devices which are plugged in, perhaps using some dbus message which is generated when a second monitor is plugged in (although this is probably handled by udev, and I do not know if dbus currently generates events for this). I am not even sure that this is possible. A simple, yet horrible solution would be to simply regenerate the menu every X seconds, using a timeout. However, this hack is to dirty for me to even consider. If at all possible, I would love to just hook to some signal that AppIndicator generates (or should generate) whenever the user first clicks on one of the app indicators and the menu needs to be produced. Looking through the documentation, I am not sure this is possible either, please advise how to proceed. I asked this question several times in IRC and got no reply, perhaps I'll get better luck here.
