Using GSettings to set for all users

2010-06-03 Thread Richard Hughes
I'm about ready to push my gsettings branch of gnome-power-manager into master. The only remaining bits to port is the set default button which sets the per-user settings for all users. This used to work using the DBus interface of GConf (the policykit helper), but I'm unsure on how to port this

Ok, since you dragged i18n inside, let me add a few of my thoughts from non strict devel side. 1. Reorganization is a must! Maybe a bit wider than proposed, but the path is right. I'd fork every moduleset to Core and Extra. - Desktop Apps Core (obviously the core, simpler apps that do the task) *

The idea behind the Activity Journal was both misinterpreted or misrepresented. Some where along the line people began to think zeitgeist features around the desktop was the goal of the Activity Journal, however the Activity Journal is really a centralized event browser not a collective project.

I recall that the framework was desireable, but a lot of the features of GAJ could be sucked into Nautilus and possibly we don't need a separate app. Again this is just from memory, (in a conf, dont' have time to look it up but wanted to chime in) but I'm sure someone from the release team can

GSettings schema paths: time to do some cleaning?
