Title:
reimplement support for external modules.
Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
In gnome-3.8 support for external panels has been removed.
I have written a patch to re-implement these, however it has the
following limitations.
- modules (i.e. panels with .so files) need to have the desktop file
name gnome-'module'-panel.desktop. Although I currently have a
fallback in place for 'module'-ccpanel.desktop, since a few extensions
seem to use that also.
- launchers (i.e things like language), are loaded from a static list of file
names, which is within the patch. I really didn’t want to haul the gmenu code
back in. So this seems like a good comprise. A number of tweaks will need to be
made to various desktop files however:
+ language-selector: needs an independent desktop file for panel laucher,
so we can hide it in Ubuntu GNOME g-c-c, but not apps search
+ ubuntu privacy panel: needs to be set to OnlyShowIn=Unity.
+ ubuntu appearance panel: needs desktop file renamed to suit above format
+ deja-dup and privacy: should be renamed to gnome-*-panel format.
+ there maybe a few others, I havent really done a thorough check here.
- there was a macro, CC_PANEL_REGISTER which is now renamed
CC_PANEL_REGISTER_EXTERNAL, I am not sure if any extensions use this,
but if they do that will need to be changed.
package with patches is at ppa:darkxst/logind for now
