I've written a new chat activity based on Telepathy. I've made it as simple as possible: when you launch it, it joins the Jabber multi-user chat [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Right now, it's hard-coded to use Gabble (the XMPP backed for Telepathy), but it should be pretty easy to make it use Salut (for local network Jabber). If you want to run this, you'll need to have the telepathy-gabble binary and its .service file installed. Git repository is here: http://projects.collabora.co.uk/~daf/chat-activity.git/ (This is my first time with git, so I'm not sure if I got that right.) There's one really annoying bug I couldn't work out: the conversation is inside a Gtk scroll area, using a hack I lifted from the journal code. The UI structure looks like this: - hippo.Canvas - hippo.CanvasWidget - gtk.ScrolledWindow - gtk.Viewport - hippo.Canvas (*) - hippo.CanvasBox - (conversation items) - sugar.graphics.entry.Entry It seems that the inner hippo.Canvas gets allocated more space than it wants, which messes up the vertical adjustment of the ScrolledWindow. It turns out that the allocation is always 804 pixels larger than the request, which I'm guess is 844 (screen height) - 40 pixels for the Entry. This is annoying because I want to scroll the conversation down when somebody says something, but it ends up showing a mass of empty space if I scroll to what should be the bottom. Hence this gross hack which makes it kinda work: adj.set_value(adj.upper - adj.page_size - 804) If somebody can shed some light on this, I'd be very happy. -- Dafydd _______________________________________________ Sugar mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.laptop.org/mailman/listinfo/sugar
