Re: Kill The Clock

  Yeah. I like frameworks with plugins. Then anyone can create a caplet for
their app.

  I will take a look through Gnome's set up and see if there's anything
useful there. Maybe get the framework working with a simple applet like
changing the wallpaper.

I don't think so.
There is SettingsGUI. Which is basically a collection of bad and not so 
bad known hacks combined in one  GUI. Written in python.

It's a nice hack, but not a solution. :)

I see two possible solutions.
Either single programs for single subsystems collected in one menu tree.
But this would have horrible startup times. But would be maybe simpler 
to implement.


Or like in gnome with capplets. (gnome configuration center applets)
http://developer.gnome.org/arch/desktop/capplets.html

What do you think?

  Is anyone working on a settings app for being able to make these kinds of
adjustments through the ui? I would be interested in doing it but don't want
to duplicate efforts.

at runtime. like remove the clock entirely, change the wallpaper on the 
home screenetc.

Do we have some central repository (wiki?) where all gconf options are 
documented?
Since we don't have a control-GUI yet, this seems to me like a very nice 
thing to have...

This works from ssh
dbus-launch gconftool-2 --type bool --set 
/desktop/poky/interface/small_clock true

This brings me to a idea.
Do we have some central repository (wiki?) where all gconf options are 
documented?
Since we don't have a control-GUI yet, this seems to me like a very nice 
thing to have...
