[Evolution-hackers] Dead GtkHtml code?
Looking for some historical insight here. There's a directory in GtkHtml's Subversion repository called "capplet". This directory is not included in GtkHtml release tarballs, and the latest capplet/ChangeLog entry is dated 2004-07-22. Is this code officially dead? The only mention of it's demise that I've found is a brief ChangeLog entry in the top-level directory: 2003-01-13 Rodney Dawes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * configure.in: Remove the capplet stuff I ask because I'm trying to clean up parts of GtkHtml's code (fixing compiler warnings, moving off deprecated GTK+ widgets, etc.) and I'd like to know whether the capplet stuff is worth bothering with. Matthew Barnes p.s. If it _is_ dead, should it not be removed from source control? ___ Evolution-hackers mailing list Evolution-hackers@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers
Re: [Evolution-hackers] Mail-Notifier
Hi Karl, I didn't know of em_panel_applet, I don't know if is preferred a C plug-in than a Python one, as Evo is a C project... I see in the bug there is work being done in this area (mainly yours!), I did a little patch locally in order to send the message id as a second parameter to the "MessageReading" event through DBus that was the first step, but I was lost trying to do the same in the "NewMail" event, I see now in your comments on 311512 that was not an easy one ;-). I'm a casual C programmer, so it's surely beyond my skills.. I also prefer #2, but #3 makes sense and is the way MS Outlook 2003 works, so people coming from Win, could be more comfortable with that option if were possible, it would be easy, as you say, to choose between the 3 options with a little .conf file..

You can download the source code here http://www.kalpe.com/?section=mail_notifier I hope you'll find it interesting... Quim Quim Welcome to the list. You may not know, but there is already some basic c code known as em_panel_applet out on the internet that does the same thing - although it doesn't use the notification library to produce a popup. This code was written as a sample tray applet for new mail notification - but being only a sample never seemed to make it mainstream or get integrated/packaged by anybody. Note that evolution has reported bugs regarding sending the NewMail messages over dbus: see bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=311512 This has some relationship to your problem of showing the icon. Personally though, I prefer your option #2 anyway - i.e. only show the icon when 'unseen' newmail has arrived, and hide it as soon as the user reads at least one message. That is my personal preference though - others may prefer different solutions - ultimately it may be something users want configurable.
