So I think I've got things sorted out by (a) switching to call
SetReportCrashes async to avoid blocking the UI, and (b) not calling
SetReportCrashes if we're asked to set it to the current (cached) value
of the property.
I've noticed that if whoopsie-preferences exits while the privacy panel
is open, I get a bit of a bounce when toggling the switch next. This
seems to be due to whoopsie-preferences sending out a stray change
notification signal on start up:
method call time=1507538340.672978 sender=:1.1499 ->
destination=com.ubuntu.WhoopsiePreferences serial=30
path=/com/ubuntu/WhoopsiePreferences; interface=com.ubuntu.WhoopsiePreferences;
member=SetReportCrashes
boolean false
signal time=1507538340.756225 sender=:1.1507 -> destination=(null
destination) serial=9 path=/com/ubuntu/WhoopsiePreferences;
interface=org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties; member=PropertiesChanged
string "com.ubuntu.WhoopsiePreferences"
array [
dict entry(
string "ReportMetrics"
variant boolean true
)
dict entry(
string "ReportCrashes"
variant boolean true
)
]
array [
]
method call time=1507538340.756590 sender=:1.1499 -> destination=:1.1507
serial=31 path=/com/ubuntu/WhoopsiePreferences;
interface=org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties; member=GetAll
string "com.ubuntu.WhoopsiePreferences"
method call time=1507538340.757395 sender=:1.1499 ->
destination=com.ubuntu.WhoopsiePreferences serial=32
path=/com/ubuntu/WhoopsiePreferences; interface=com.ubuntu.WhoopsiePreferences;
member=SetReportCrashes
boolean true
signal time=1507538341.034321 sender=:1.1507 -> destination=(null
destination) serial=14 path=/com/ubuntu/WhoopsiePreferences;
interface=org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties; member=PropertiesChanged
string "com.ubuntu.WhoopsiePreferences"
array [
dict entry(
string "ReportCrashes"
variant boolean false
)
]
array [
]
method call time=1507538341.035076 sender=:1.1499 -> destination=:1.1507
serial=33 path=/com/ubuntu/WhoopsiePreferences;
interface=com.ubuntu.WhoopsiePreferences; member=SetReportCrashes
boolean false
So essentially whoopsie-preferences is sending out an unsolicited
PropertiesChanged signal on startup with the initial values before
processing the SetReportCrashes method call. Then gnome-control-center
responds by trying to match the switch state leading to the bounce.
So I guess I'll have to dive into the whoopsie-preferences code to see
if I can silence the stray signal.
