Thanks for your answers Alex :) ... and sorry for the delay, I was caught in some confusions in my project about various C2HS stuff (such as how to handle newtype (foreign) variables across multiple modules).
But please be patient with me since I still have one question ! First to resume briefly the previous thread: > >My real problems are: > >- I cannot simply map (GHashTable k v) to a (Data.Map.Map k v) > > > > I don't know what you mean with "map".

By "map", I was hoping to get an easy solution as with GList where you can import to / export from haskell the entire set of values without bothering you constantly keeping a pointer to GList*. Anyway, forget about this, I have kept things simple and only coded a minimal subset of GHashTable, re-reading xfconf documentation, it appears we only get (gchar*) keys and (gvalue*) values. Then, concerning the question. I would like to cast XfconfChannel to a GObject, play with its attribute and connect to it some signals. If I've correctly understood the recent cabalization of gtk2hs and its addons, and based on gconf-0.11, I should hook Setup.hs to Gtk2HsSetup.hs, create two files, "marshal.list" and "hierarchy.list" and modify the .cabal configuration accordingly, am I right ? What if my reference to the XfconfChannel gobject is a "weak" reference ? Is there some special things to do, since I do not require a g_object_unref finalizer. regards, John ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ Gtk2hs-devel mailing list Gtk2hs-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gtk2hs-devel
