Re: Qt5 keyboard layout changing

2014-03-14 Thread Petko Ditchev
 I'm happy that a problem is solved in the thread, but getting back on 
topic I wanted to ask why the said bug appears only in GNOME? I thought 
the input stack is mostly identical on Linux desktops, but apparently 
GNOME differs by some component from the others. I need some direction 
in finding a workaround or debugging the issue. A few months ago I 
started reading about xkb and ibus and some other related stuff, but 
couldn't figure out what GNOME uses that other desktops don't. Any help 
would be appreciated.

You can set right-Alt to be compose and use that.

I have to stand corrected.

It works for me because I did it a 2.5 years ago and kept upgrading the
distribution.

But today I can't seem to find how to change that anymore in Gnome 3.10
Like it has been removed from the settings.[1]

closer than some other distro, for sure.

Ah , thanks. I opened the bug today to see something, but apparently I 
didn't scroll down enough to see the new responses.

TARBALLS DUE: GNOME 3.11.92 release candidate + HARD CODE FREEZE

2014-03-14 Thread Frederic Peters
Hey all,

Here comes the 3.11.92 release candidate, last stop before 3.12.
Tarballs are expected on Monday, this is the last chance to get your
fixes in, we will then enter the hard code freeze, and you will need a
big bunch of approvals to get changes in.


Let's repeat, tarballs are due on 2014-03-17 before 23:59 UTC for the
GNOME 3.11.92 rc release, which will be delivered on Wednesday.
Please make sure that your tarballs will be uploaded before Monday
23:59 UTC: tarballs uploaded later than that will probably be too late
to get in 3.11.92.

If you are not able to make a tarball before this deadline or if you
think you'll be late, please send a mail to the release team and we'll
find someone to roll the tarball for you!


We will be entering the HARD CODE FREEZE: This is a late freeze to
avoids sudden last-minute accidents which could risk the stability
that should have been reached at this point.  No source code changes
are allowed without approval from the release team, but translation
and documentation should continue. Simple build fixes are, of course,
allowed without asking.


For more information about 3.11, the full schedule, the official
module lists and the proposed module lists, please see our colorful 3.11
page:
   http://www.gnome.org/start/unstable

For a quick overview of the GNOME schedule, please see:

Cheers,

Displaying wallpapers in /usr/share/backgrounds/ in settings

2014-03-14 Thread Petko Ditchev
Hello, I want to ask if there's a way (dconf setting or whatever else) 
to make the wallpaper chooser display non-GNOME wallpapers that are in 
the backgrounds directory? And as a side question - why restrict to 
those in the first place ?!

Re: Displaying wallpapers in /usr/share/backgrounds/ in settings

2014-03-14 Thread Michael Ikey Doherty
Hi,

As far as I know this isn't possible via dconf. There are a number of
sources available, via the Grilo backend.

Main ones:

~/Pictures:
pictures_path = g_get_user_special_dir (G_USER_DIRECTORY_PICTURES);

Anything from /usr/share/backgrounds *has* to be defined in an XML file
(It's actually been this way for a *long time*)

Check inside /usr/share/gnome-background-properties/*.xml
Here's an example from Fedora's branding changes:

?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8?
!DOCTYPE wallpapers SYSTEM gnome-wp-list.dtd
wallpapers
wallpaper deleted=false
nameSchrödinger’s Cat Animated/name

filename/usr/share/backgrounds/schroedinger-cat/default-animated/schroedinger-cat.xml/filename
optionsstretched/options
/wallpaper
/wallpapers


So, you'd need to provide one for each wallpaper you intended to ship
in /usr/share/backgrounds. This is intended behaviour as those
backgrounds are vendor-shipped (Or, layman's terms, they're already
pre-packaged and accounted for in your distributions repositories)

The easiest thing is to just copy files into ~/Pictures (Localization
may provide a different name, it's your XDG Pictures directory)

Hi,

by the way, some applications do put images intended to be used as a
background in a subdirectory of the Pictures/ XDG dir. 

I think at least Nautilus creates a Wallpapers subdirectory when you
right-click on an image and select to set it as a background. Which I
find a very good idea, since I like having backgrounds separated
e.g. from my holiday photos, and I like keeping my Pictures/ folder a
bit more organized than just a random kitchen sink for all images that
can fit on my screen. Kudos to the Nautilus maintainers :-).

However, this means that I don't get access to these images from 
gnome-control-center background.

Other programs are less well-behaved, and as soon as I press set as
wallpaper, they copy images in Pictures/, next to my photos. Very
annoying, also because, if the image was already in Pictures/, it will
*copy and rename* it. I think eog does this, but I did not check.

But basically, even for GNOME apps, there is little to no
standardization about how a wallpaper should be set. Some copy a file
in Pictures/, some in Pictures/Wallpapers (my personal favorite),
others do not copy a file at all, and just change a dconf key, ...
and so on.

Wouldn't be worth providing some kind of common API, or some sort of
guideline in this respect?

Cheers,
Matteo

PS. Personally, +1 for whoever proposes to standardise on
Pictures/Wallpapers.
