New to GSettings
Hello! I'd like to take advantage of GSettings in my application, but I have some questions about it. Ther's a tutorial based on gnome-utils, but it doesn't explain everything. 1. What's the purpose of 'path' attribute? When browsing Baobab's source code I saw, that it set 'path' with '/apps/baobab/', so it's not a file system path, but some abstract representation of settings hierarchy, right? Are there some common categories of paths: 'apps', 'system', 'desktop' or other? 2. When using GSettings I need to install my schemas somewhere. In Baobab's configure.ac they use pkg-config to obtain path: pkg-config --variable gsettingsschemadir gio-2.0 . The problem is, that on my Ubuuntu (glib v2.26.x) there's no such variable... 3. What happens with settings stored using GSettings API, when user will remove my application from system? Will they stay in backend's settings database or after removing schema from schemas directory backend will remove settings related to it from it's storage? ___ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
Developing application with well-known service name using GDBus
Hello! I 'm working on daemon application, which use GDBus. Because my program is a daemon, external appliactions should be able to start it by calling org.freedesktop.DBus.StartServiceByName' D-Bus method. To do this I have to provide '*.service' file, which tells D-Bus session bus how to run my program. How to obtain destination folder for this file? When using low-level dbus-1 libbrary it's simple, because dbus-1 provides 'session_bus_services_dir' variable via pkg-config. However because GDBus is standalone implementation, how can I retrieve path to this folder? i don't want to depend my program on dbus-1 only because one variable required by Autotools... ___ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
icon for gtk window.
Hi all, I have problem, I designed the UI using GTK (gtk-2.16.6 and all other dependent packages are installed). It is some thing like below image(The circle is just to show the icon). First thing is, I want to change the icon of this window... can any one help me to do this... I searched for apis but I didn't understood the solution I need is the API information... like which one to use and how to use... or give me the link which I can refer... Next is I checked for all available icons(list), But I didn't get the icon which is used by gtk-demo. I want my application to use that icon Can I use that icon for my app window ?? If I run the same app in windows XP(with all libraries installed), I'll get the same window icon(which is used by gtk-demo in linux) for the app. please help me... To find and understand the APIs for this, and suggest me, can I go for the icon to use to my app Thank u in advance -- Thanks Regards, Loh!tha R ___ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list

failing to run gtk with directfb
Hi,
I am trying to get GTK working width directfb, and it's failing to
initialize.
directfb 1.4.11 - glib 2.27.3 - gdk-pixbuf 2.22.1 - pixman 0.21.2
cairo 1.10.0 - atk 1.32.0 - pango 1.28.3 - gtk 2.22.1
What's happening is:
_gdk_display = g_object_new (GDK_TYPE_DISPLAY_DFB, NULL);
is failing in gdk_display_open()
(testbuttons:181): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_new: assertion
`G_TYPE_IS_OBJECT (object_type)' failed
FWIW, directfb is working just fine (using the directfb API).
Here is is I cross-compiled gtk (for ARM v7):
./configure --enable-shared --disable-static --build=i686-linux
--host=$HOST \
--disable-gtk-doc-html \
--with-gdktarget=directfb --without-x \
--disable-cups --with-gnu-ld \
--prefix=${PREFIX}/${HOST}/libc/usr
Any idea what I could have done wrong ?
Thanks!
Olivier

Re: Stop stepping on other perl extension's toes
On 25.11.2010 00:43, Florian Ragwitz wrote: This set of patches changes the details of how Glib attaches pointers to SVs. The intention is to be more robust and improve interoperability with other extensions also using the PERL_MAGIC_ext mechanism. Looks great in general, thanks. This is good to have not only because it fixes the interoperability problem, but also because it encapsulates this tricky magic business in a nice bit of API. Specific comments: * It looks like gperl_find_mg is missing a couple of braces; I think as it is it will always return the first magic struct found. * SvTYPE is not null-safe, so gperl_find_mg and gperl_remove_mg should guard against this. * You removed the !sv || !SvROK (sv) checks in a couple of places before calling SvRV (sv). Since SvRV isn't null-safe either, I think these need to stay. * The new API needs some short POD paragraphs, maybe similar in structure to what gperl_set_isa and gperl_prepend_isa have in GType.xs. * We need to remember to update the version of Glib that Gtk2 requires before release. * I worried a while about the thread-safety implications of having one global static MGVTBL. But after some pondering I now think that this exactly what we want: two scalars in two different threads representing the same object need to be associated with the same magic pointer so that they represent the same underlying GObject. With the mentioned things fixed, I think this can go in.
