[Sugar-devel] sugar-settings-manager
Hi, I just pushed the initial codeset for sugar-settings-manager, the settings manager daemon which is a part of http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features/Font_configuration It only handles font configuration information at the moment, but a number of other settings can be controlled in the future (http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/XSettingsRegistry) Please test it out (the relevant patch for sugar-jhbuild is at http://dev.sugarlabs.org/ticket/1692) Thanks, Sayamindu -- Sayamindu Dasgupta [http://sayamindu.randomink.org/ramblings] ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel

This could reduce some memory usage and packaging effort. We are already doing this with the session manager. Other than that, this seems like awesome work to me, congrats!

This could reduce some memory usage and packaging effort. We are already doing this with the session manager. It is possible (with some hacks, such as re-wrapping gdk_window_add_filter to allow for passing NULL instead of a GdkWindow). However, at some point, I think we would be moving in a direction similar to GNOME, and using the settings daemon for supporting things like pointer acceleration, mouse keys flipping, sticky keys support, etc, all of which would need to be wrapped inside sugar-toolkit. In such a scenario, IMHO, it makes sense to have a separate, purely C based daemon (in its current form, it takes up around 600k of memory).
