What I found was that notify::action was enough to catch most of what I needed. At first I didn't think it was working properly because I wasn't seeing the signal when switching from Measure to the Desktop. But as soon as I switched to a different activity, I see the notification. So unless the Desktop (or Journal or Neighborhood) need to access gstreamer, I think we are OK. -walter > > Regards, > --Gary > > On May 21, 2012 1:44 PM, "Walter Bender" <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> On Mon, May 21, 2012 at 6:44 AM, Sascha Silbe <[email protected]> >> wrote: >> > Walter Bender <[email protected]> writes: >> > >> >> On Sun, May 20, 2012 at 7:00 PM, Sascha Silbe >> >> <[email protected]> wrote: >> > [...] >> >>> - Turtle Art v138 >> >> >> >> For TA, this is by design: if you are recording data, you want to keep >> >> recording even when in the background.
