The eggtray problem - Non ou pseudo

Open source projects have the weirdest names...

The eggtray problem - Des

Also, the duplication is ment to be there, since that's the policy on using stuff from the egg library (a kind-of-experimental library in gnome), so it's not weird everyone has his own copy.

It's far from ideal, but that lays in the lack of a decent systray gtk implementation so far (or arguably, still).

For reference:

So it looks like GTK+ lacks a good system tray support, that's bad.

Still the solution is not to use eggtray IMHO but to depends on GTK >= 2.10 or to disable systray sypport on older GTK.

And probably fix the GTK implementation so it can get any widget!

The GtkStatusIcon is pretty new actually. So it can be used more or less just now, with a dependency on Gtk 2.10 of which some refrain.

And the widget point raised is also an important one, albeit depending on the usage of the tray icon...

Over in Pidgin-land, one reason that we don't use GtkStatusIcon is that we don't depend on Gtk 2.10 yet.

(Whether or not we should is a different matter. :-))

I don't know if it is the only reason, but it happen that the native GTK+ system tray implementation is less powerfull than the eggtray one :
* The eggtray is a full widget container, you can put in it any widget you wich, for exemple an eventbox, and so react to any gtk signal/X event you may want to look at.
* The GtkStatusIcon is not a widget nor a widget container, so you have no choise but to only react to the three existing signal for it : "activate" "popup-menu" and "size-changed"

I have updated it, now it's a bit more robust with multi part.

fed my spam folder to this script to see what is it (dont read python here).

2 points:

"multi-part message in MIME format" crashes the script.

It's useless for 8-bit non-latin encodings (cyrillic f.e.). Eats up latin sub-string (URLS et al.) successfully in such thou.

Cheers!

xulrunner hacking - glandium

Note that you didn't need to actually build the thing to patch the file you patched: you can just directly modify the file in /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9/components.

Upgrading MediaWiki from PostgreSQL 8.2 to 8.3 - Roman

Roman — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 11:43:30 +0200

Thank you very much for your article. I almost managed to upgrade following it, but there were still many errors. I did it a little bit differently - I tore out the tsearch2 altogether, and than brought it back. I also had to grant access to some table after mediawiki upgrade. I also wrote in my blog: http://blog.gugl.org/archives/24

Generating documentation from C source code - Gunnar

Gunnar — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 22:13:18 +0100

Umh.. I'm not sure that'd be useful for most of the code I've written Of course, being a Perl guy, I tend to document my code in POD. And if you just filtered my comments, you'd find such jewels as (picked almost randomly):
raise_error is true
raise_error is false
raise_error is true again
raise_error is false again
or
Were we called as an instance method and not as a class method? Ok, go
ahead
Check if we know how our table is laid out. If %dbfields (class variable)
is empty, populate it.
Were we requested the results to be sorted? Take the key out of the
%vals array, and check if it is valid.
If we got no attributes, we are searching for a list of all persons
We are performing a search on specific attributes
Text fields will be searched by regular expression matching. All
other fields will look for exact equality.
No placeholder - Remove the attribute
from the list
We just want the list of all persons
If $max_props is 0, we have no limit set - The person can submit.
Make it work regardless if it was called as a class or an instance
method
If the password is not valid, return undef
Of course, now that I'm moving over to RubyLand, and given that RDOC is so braindead it wants to read your comments... My commenting style must change

Hi Julien, I'm using GD::Graph (with perl) but I could learn some python to use a decent library for the graphs. Thanks for all
