Why not ditch the hideous abuse of the notification area icon instead, and get the applet to communicate with gnome-power-manager over D-BUS. Or better still, if g-p-m can't talk to an existing battery monitor of some description (maybe a desklet) it will use it's own notification area icon as per the configuration. Not everyone wants to use the notification area. I've also seen people who have removed it, because they didn't like the notifications in it (rather than realising they could disable the problem applications). This is why I wanted to see more abstraction of the UI elements from the policy elements. --d -- Davyd Madeley http://www.davyd.id.au/ 08B0 341A 0B9B 08BB 2118 C060 2EDD BB4F 5191 6CDA _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
