seb128gicmo: hey hey09:04
gicmoseb128: just got the crasher again (trash) myself09:04
seb128it's a popular one ;-)09:05
seb128the number of dup was 93 when I looked yesterday09:05
gicmoseb128: I am thinking about adding a piece of code that might fix it09:05
gicmoseb128: I just wish I could reproduce it09:05
seb128right09:06
seb128gicmo: what piece of code and where?09:06
gicmoseb128: just add g_vfs_get_default () on the main thread09:07
seb128that would fix it? I though the issue was dbus used in threads09:07
gicmocalling that func will cause gio/gvfs to be initialized09:07
gicmoseb128: well, the issue is that we are initilizing gvfs from the second thread09:07
gicmoseb128: look at the stack traces, they all crash with gvfs_daemo_init () or g_vfs_get_default () in the second thread09:08
gicmowhat was the lp bug?09:09
gicmosorry for not remembering that09:09

seb128gicmo: that's only ubuntu unstable, I say you are lucky gnome-session 2.23 doesn't enable bug-buddy ;-)09:13

seb128I can push patches and wait for user feedback or see if bug reports stop though09:20
seb128I'm just not enough of a hacker to have a clue about this issue09:21
gicmoI am not sure the _g_dbus_connection_integrate_with_main () is prepared to handle more then one main integration09:21
seb128did you try to mail alex? maybe he has some clue about that too and could confirm your idea?09:24

andreasnseb128: regarding https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IntrepidMenusReview, I fixed the xsane icon thing on my own system, but how do I forward these changes to you? diff the desktop file and send a patch?14:37
andreasnseb128: I more or less just changed one line of text14:38
seb128andreasn: what format is used for the icon? diff or attach the new icon to launchpad14:38
seb128andreasn: and subscribe the ubuntu-main-sponsors team too14:38
andreasnseb128: I just changed icon=xsane to icon=scanner14:38
seb128andreasn: ah, easy enough, so yes just the diff on a bug would be nice ;-)14:39
andreasnall right, will do14:39
seb128thanks!14:39
mvoseb128: just to clarify, gnome-session now uses gnome-wm again and that uses /desktop/gnome/applicatons/window_manager/default again?14:45
seb128mvo: yes14:46
mvothanks14:46
* mvo updates the g-c-c patch14:46
seb128mvo: what is wrong in the patch?14:50
seb128mvo: the code uses /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager, not sure if we should rather change this one and update gnome-wm to use it too14:51
seb128vuntz: ^14:51
vuntzyes, use the upstream key if possible :-)14:56
mvo_seb128: the patch currently writes this location but that does not seem to be sufficient14:57
mvo_I don't mind either way14:57
seb128vuntz: what is the upstream key? the14:58
seb128mvo_: use the required_components one rather then14:59
vuntzseb128: /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager,14:59
seb128ok, what I though, thanks14:59
mvo_will gnome-session run what is found there?14:59
mvo_or will gnome-session run gnome-wm regardless?15:00
seb128mvo_: arg, tricky15:00
seb128mvo_: gnome-session will run what is in /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager15:00
seb128which is gnome-wm in intrepid15:00
seb128if we don't do that we don't have fallback working15:00
=== Jazzva_ is now known as Jazzva
seb128now, not sure if the capplet should change this one15:02
mvo_hm, the fallback is part of the compiz startup script. or does gnome-session get confused when instead of compiz suddently metacity registers itself15:02
seb128or if we should always use gnome-wm and let do it the logic15:02
seb128mvo_: that should not be the case but gnome-wm handles lot of other case, openbox users for example15:03
mvo_ok, cool15:03
seb128"cool"? I'm still not clear what we should do ;-)15:04
mvo_"cool"> that gnome-session does not get confused15:08
seb128;-)15:08
mvo_I have a look into the gnome-session source now15:08
mvo_ok, so the current patch in g-c-c writes to the wrong gconf location anyway :)15:10
mvo_that explains the issues I see15:10
seb128ok15:13
mvo_let go with modifiying /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager in the appearance cpaplet15:13
mvo_I think that way users who are looking at the documentation to see where the window manager is set will find the right answer15:13

mpttedg, reasons for the status menu to be first: * Usually used more often, by those who use it at all. * Strengthens the connection between the icon in the menu and the icons for the status items. * Switching accounts and lock/shut down/etc are more closely related than changing status and lock/shut down/etc are.15:41
tedgmpt: http://people.ubuntu.com/~ted/fusa-screenie-2008091209.png15:41
tedgmpt: Yeah, I agree.15:42
mptHowever...15:42
tedgI think it also means we could go back to indenting the names and having "Switch User" above them -- which I liked better.15:42
mpttedg, reasons for the list of accounts to be first: * Applicable more often (assuming the guest account is on by default). * Strengthens the connection between the name in the menu title and the names of the other accounts. * It's possible that future versions will have more complex status stuff, e.g. a field for you to enter custom status text, or to do twittering, or whatever.15:43
tedgWe need to solve the users with the same real name problem.15:43
mpt(By "applicable more often" I mean "applicable to more people", since not everyone uses IM.)15:44
tedgI don't have numbers, but I'm guessing that more people us IM than FUS.15:44
tedgEspecially on the cases of "Single user laptop"15:45
mpthmm, likely15:45
tedgWe should make that into a term.  SUL.  It's actually a big use case.15:47
tedgmpt: Are you in #ubuntu-devel?  They're discussing jockey terms.15:50
mpttedg, I'm one of "they"15:51
tedgmpt: Sorry, you're a different color in that window :)15:53
mpttedg, report a bug :-)15:55
tedgHeh, perhaps, but I'm trying to cut down on Karma. ;)15:57
glatzormvo__, hi16:02
mpttedg, this is the ideal menu for social climbers. It's all about status and power.16:02
tedgmpt: I think you should propose that for the name -- social climbing menu.16:04
andreasntedg: is this ready for Ibex or the one after it? might be nice to use the same icons as Pidgin if for Ibex.16:08
andreasnto make the graphic connection stronger16:09
tedgandreasn: It's for Intrepid.  I don't know, I kinda want to push towards Empathy ;)16:10
* andreasn should try to get these into the base icon set anyway16:10
tedgI used the icon naming spec names, so they'll probably get themed by everyone.16:11
tedgSo I imagine it won't match Pidgin anyway in the end.16:11
andreasnhow sneaky of you ;)16:11
tedgandreasn: Yeah, you know those artists, you have to manipulate them in subtle ways :)16:12
andreasnyou mean like "crap, we want consistency at every cost, crap, might as well change the IM client!"? :)16:13
tedgmpt: What's you're plan?  Should I start something new, or wait for a quick turn around on some menu shuffles?16:29
tedgs/you're/your/16:29
mpttedg, Mark has been in a meeting for a while so I wouldn't expect a quick turnaround16:32
tedgmpt: 'k, I'll break other things then :)16:33
