hi, We are making an panel applet.. Now it should launch itself on the panel at startup
We read http://www.gnome.org/learn/admin-guide/2.0/ch01s06.html#gconf-14 however as suggested here and on http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gconf-list/2004-July/msg00032.html we tried using the gconftool Now first we use it with -get to get the existing applet_id_list This gives me 6-7 attributes including [Default value] that has the list.Then we append the list to add our applet id to the list using gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults --owner=panel --type list --list-type string --set "/apps/panel/default_profiles/medium/general /applet_id_list [the appended list here] the problem is that the original xml file that has the applet id list first mentions type=schema ,then ltype=list and stype=string so when i append using the above commands,it goes haywire.probably because i'm not giving any schema......... Could someone help me........ Also when i manually modified all the required files.........the applet runs when i shutdown and restart but NOT when i log out and re-login. do i need to handle some signal or what?
