Re: [e-users] binding power button to power gadcon dialog

2009-07-22 Thread Mister Olli
hi...

linux with acpid allows to include custom scripts into acpid event
handling. see acpid documentation on how to do this...

so you should be able to:
- create a custom script that calls your binary that does the popup
- (not sure) can't you do it with dbus (is E able to fire up programs
when certain dbus messages appear)

 no they aren't. i've never seen this and just tested - an acpi button i have
 wakes acpid and it gets the press, but x exhibits zero keyboard activity. it's
 not ubuntu. it may be some gnome components listening to acpid, but it's not
 ubuntu and x - it's no automagic. :)

i know. this has been the mainstay of how a clean shutdown happens when you
press the power off button. more recently this has stopped being used in favor
of letting a gui session app in the desktop - like gnome, listen to acpid and
then present some sort of dialog. :)

 so you should be able to:
 - create a custom script that calls your binary that does the popup
 - (not sure) can't you do it with dbus (is E able to fire up programs
 when certain dbus messages appear)

or just listen to acpid... :)

[e-users] top shows two enlightenment processes

2009-07-22 Thread Geoffrey
Any particular reason I would see two enlightenment processes running on 
my box?  Would that indicate I have two sessions running, possibly on 
different vts?

Since you dev's love bugs :-! , here's a bug for you!

 When I go to a shelf setting, and enable the per-desktop setting, Show 
on specified desktops, the setting is applied on the desktops I 
selected. However, after closing the shelf settings and re-opening it, 
the first desktop is selected and the other desktops are not selected 
any more. This used to work fine a couple of months back. I have also 
tested this on a fresh ~/.e.
