slomoseb128: please sync libtheora from debian/unstable, that NMU contains some useful fixes ;)08:53
seb128slomo, ok, syncing libgdata too08:54
chrisccoulsongood morning everyone08:54
slomoseb128: great, and totem should be merged then :)08:54
seb128hey chrisccoulson08:54
chrisccoulsonhi seb12808:54
chrisccoulsondid you have a good weekend?08:54
seb128spent saturday travelling but otherwise good08:55
seb128you?08:55
chrisccoulsonyeah, not too bad. it was actually sunny here all weekend, so i cut our grass and did a bit of shopping08:56
mac_vseb128: hi... i think my Bug #410923 is a dup of my own! there are several dups but each seem to be having their own dups! since they are all assigned to different packages... any idea why apport reports the crashes wrong? should i file a bug in apport?09:24

chrisccoulsonseb128 - i've pushed a change to the gconf bzr branch for the polkit-1 migration09:29
seb128chrisccoulson, ok thanks09:29
chrisccoulsonseb128 - if you're interested in testing it to make sure it works, then the g-p-m capplet uses the gconf defaults, and this seems to work ok09:30
chrisccoulsongconf-editor does not work, but i presume that's because it needs porting too09:31
seb128ok thanks, gconf-editor never worked for me09:31
seb128I did try on intrepid and jaunty after getting people asking about it09:31
seb128I might test later but I've a very busy week, new GNOME, alpha4 and pitti is on holidays I cover for him too09:31
seb128and I need to land new changes before the alpha image since I'm on holidays next week09:32
chrisccoulsonseb128 - that's ok:)09:32
chrisccoulsoni'll try and help out where i can this week;)09:32
seb128thanks!09:32
loolseb128: Looking at xsplash, the autogen.sh and gtk-doc.make are missing because they aren't EXTRA_DISTed in the upstream Makefile.am09:33
seb128lut davidbarth09:34
loolNothing I couldn't fix in patches but this source package looks like it relies of being built out of bzr09:34
seb128lool, right, I would not be surprised, most dxteam work in bzr and build things from there09:35
loolYup; I think the released tarball doesn't pass make distcheck basically09:35
seb128lool, I would say it's not a blocker for getting the package in, maybe note those and open bugs after the upload?09:35
seb128+ patch if you feel fixing those but don't think you need09:36
loolseb128: Ok09:36
loolseb128: Do you think it should use the gnome.mk class?09:36
loolI don't see any pos but it might benefit from the gnome.mk default configs09:37
seb128no need I would say09:37
seb128that's a simple gtk software09:37
loolk09:37
seb128ie no schemas, etc09:37
chrisccoulsonseb128 - i took a look at bug 410241 at the weekend, and also one other bug raised by the translations team.09:49
ubottuLaunchpad bug 410241 in gnome-session "Merge debian/po-up/patches.pot templates into the main template" [Low,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/41024109:49
chrisccoulsonfor the gnome-panel task, pkgstriptranslations is just stripping the contents of debian/po-up, which isn't used09:49
seb128chrisccoulson, I talked to david at the airport saturday they can filter those on the rosetta side easily09:49
chrisccoulsonso we can just delete it09:49
chrisccoulsonah, ok09:49
seb128chrisccoulson, we just need to make sure that patch strings are in the po templates09:50
loolseb128: Hmm I really can't build it at all from the .dsc09:50
loolIt doesn't have a configure09:50
seb128lool, wfm, what error do you get?09:50
seb128urg09:50
loolOh nevermind I'm stupid09:50
loolWrong window09:50
seb128ok ;-)09:50
chrisccoulsoni was actually wondering if we could filter them out in pkgstriptranslations? it seems to strip any folder containing translations (including the hidden .pc/ folder used by quilt)09:50
seb128should work too I guess09:51
seb128that's rather a question for pitti though09:51
chrisccoulsonyeah, i'll ask him when he comes back. so, i can close that bug report if they're going to be filtered out on the rosetta side can i?09:52
seb128yes, just make sure we have those string in the po template09:53
davidbarthseb128: salut09:53
davidbarthseb128: xsplash dist-check issues?09:54
chrisccoulsonseb128 - in the gnome-session case, those strings are merged in the main po template. the extra folders (po.saved and debian/po-up) just contain the original template and the new merged-in strings, which aren't needed09:54
=== tkamppeter_ is now known as tkamppeter
chrisccoulsonin the gnome-panel case, those strings in po-up aren't used in ubuntu, and aren't merged in (but are still there in the source)09:55
seb128davidbarth, that's mostly ok, lool being picky rather than real blockers09:55
seb128chrisccoulson, ok good so the bugs can be closed09:55
chrisccoulsonthanks:)09:55
seb128davidbarth, no fusa though which is annoying, do you know where ted put it?09:55
seb128Laney, hi, thanks for working on the fspot update09:59
loolseb128: I'm truly picky in general, and I don't mind packages not passing distcheck, but I don't think it's being particularly picky to reject a .diff.gz used to ship upstream files   ;-)10:00
Laneyseb128: no problem10:01
Laneyhaving some autotools issues if you could take a look though?10:01
seb128Laney, btw did you look at the package or REVU too?10:01
seb128Laney, yes sure10:01
Laneyno not yet, it's on the stack10:01
Laneyhttp://paste.debian.net/43751/10:01
seb128lool, right, do you think you can fix it or do you need to wait on the other guys to know what is the source used for packaging etc10:01
loolseb128: I'm ok with reporting it and uploading that for now10:02
seb128Laney, they have been advocated apparently so they just need upload now if you can do that10:02
loolseb128: (Which I did)10:02
Laneyoh alright10:02
seb128lool, ok thanks!10:02
Laneylet me look then10:02

seb128well, mago has a ack from me but I'm nobody for REVU apparently10:04

seb128Laney, right10:05
seb128Laney, is your f-spot source online somewhere?10:06
seb128Laney, my autofoo at not strong enough to debug from pastebin ;-)10:06

LaneySuccessfully uploaded packages.10:23
seb128Laney, thanks10:24
Laneyno worries10:24
seb128Laney, easy way to workaround the bug is to make the if not dynamic10:26
seb128ie if you don't enable_test in the package build just comment everything in the package10:26
Laneyi'll try it10:31

seb128asac, thanks for the telepathy-butterfly fix btw10:39

asacand for firefox-3.6 we dont have any bug tracker at all ;)10:39
seb128asac, right but as lool said you don't want bugs from random crack user ppas you don't know about10:40
asacyeah10:40
asacthats true. we should be able to maintain a whitelist ... or "ubuntu-team ppas"10:40
seb128right10:40
asacactually i dont like the feature that it displays random crack builds on the frontpage either10:41
asac"Other versions of 'firefox-3.6' in untrusted archives. "10:41
seb128that's handy to see what cracks are available but it's annoying that users can be lead to cracks this way10:42
asacseb128: yeah. ototh, we have apport preventing that10:43

crevettehello11:06
loolseb128: I emailed didrocks but I didn't get a reply11:07
loolThat was last Thursday11:07
LaneyI think he was going on holiday11:07
loolAh11:07
seb128lool, no, is there several versions or a need to version it?11:07
seb128lool, he's on holidays for 2 weeks I think11:07
loolseb128: I just seems inconsistent with clutter/clutter-0.1011:08
lools/I/It11:08
seb128well clutter is 1.0 now11:08
seb128not sure if versionning is still useful11:08
seb128but no I don't know and I've no strong opinion either way11:08
loolclutter became clutter-1.0 to keep the 0.8 versions in archive parallel installable; clutter-gtk wasn't I don't care how we fix it but it'd better match11:09
loolWill check with didrocks when he comes back I guess11:09
loolDebian didn't push clutter-gtk 1.0 yet11:09
seb128lool, I guess that's because we had clutter-0.8 clutter-gtk11:12
seb128clutter-0.9 I mean11:12
seb128ie clutter was already versioned11:12
Laneylooks like those autotools warnings were around in 0.5.0.3 too11:12
Laneyso I won't worry about them11:12
seb128I'm wondering if it would make sense to drop any versioning now11:12
seb128Laney, ok11:12
Laneyclean up build-deps and close bugs and then it should be good11:14
seb128Laney, \o/11:14
chrisccoulsonseb128 - i just saw the nautilus and gnome-panel patches. surely that change would be better in gnome-session? (sending the DBus message on the transition from Panel -> Application phases, when both nautilus and gnome-panel are already loaded), rather than patching both nautilus and gnome-panel to do the same thing?11:35
seb128chrisccoulson, no clue about those, I've not been discussing nor working on those just doing sponsoring11:36
seb128chrisccoulson, robert_ancell is on holidays now though11:36
seb128but yeah that seems to make sense if gnome-session knows when those are done displaying things11:37
chrisccoulsonseb128 - ok, no problem. i just had a look at the xsplash code, and it looks quite hacky there. if the message came from the session manager, then it would work with any combination of filemanager or panel. with the current situation, it only works with gnome-panel an nautilus, and requires them both to be patched11:37
seb128ie I don't know when gnome-session goes to the next stage, are gnome-panel applets still loading, etc11:37
chrisccoulsonseb128 - yeah, i'm not too sure about that11:38
seb128bratsche, hey, are you there?11:38
seb128bratsche, ^ that's a topic for you I guess11:38
seb128chrisccoulson, bratsche is writing xsplash, they discussed those changes with robert_ancekk11:39
seb128robert_ancell11:39
chrisccoulsondoesn't gnome-session send a DBus signal when the phase changes? that would be even better, as it wouldn't even need o be patched at all11:39
chrisccoulsonok, no problem, i'll chat with bratsche11:39
seb128chrisccoulson, well the idea is to display the splash until screen is stable11:39
seb128ie if gnome-panel still loads applets after being "done" that's an issue11:40
chrisccoulsonyeah, i'm not sure when gnome-panel connects to the session manager11:40
seb128davidbarth might know11:40

seb128and ubufox12:43
seb128asac, "aptitude why firefox-3.0"12:43
seb128asac, I had to uninstall  firefox firefox-gnome-support ubufox to get it there12:44
asacseb128: davmor didnt see ubufox in why12:45
seb128I get it after removing the others12:45
seb128asac, you might want to have a | firefox-3.5 there12:46
asacyeah12:46
asacthough i have the feeling that doesnt helpü12:46
asacbecause after moving firefox to 3.5 its not autoremove either12:46
asaceven though firefox is in depends of ubufox12:46
seb128what is the issue? refuse to change the default?12:46
asacsmells like a bug12:46
asacseb128: no. its not a big issue. its just that i expected firefox-3.0 go to autoremove after moving firefox and firefox-gnome-support meta package12:47
seb128ok12:47
asacwill do migration packages at the end of the cycle then12:47
asacmvo said it would work. maybe i should  make the whole firefox, etc. stuff a recommends for ubufox12:48
bratscheHi chrisccoulson12:52
bratschechrisccoulson: I think robert_ancell did it that way because he couldn't find a reliable way in gnome-session to determine when the session was finished loading.  It would send the signal too early or something.12:53
bratscheIf you have some other ideas on how to do this it would be awesome. :)12:54
chrisccoulsonbratsche - yeah, i think you're right (sort of). gnome-session provides a reliable way to know when the session is finished loading, but gnome-panel seems to connect to the session manager too early (causing the next session phase to begin whilst the applets are still loading)12:56
chrisccoulsoni had a look at the gnome-panel code, and it connects to the session manager just before entering the main loop, which I think is way too early12:56
bratscheWell, the way I understood what robert said was that gnome-session would signal once it has asked everything else to load.. but not when they're actually done loading.  He had a better idea of how to solve this, but it would require some more work:12:57
bratscheWhich is for each thing that gnome-session spawns, have a dbus callback signal from that item to gnome-session saying, "I'm totally done loading"12:58
chrisccoulsonbratsche - that's already the case i think. gnome-session starts the session in phases, and only progresses to the next phase when all applications in the current phase are done loading12:59
bratscheOh I see.  What are the different phases?12:59
chrisccoulsonclients already tell gnome-session when they've loaded, by connecting to it12:59
=== MacSlow|lunch is now known as MacSlow
chrisccoulsonthe phases are Initialization -> Window Manager -> Desktop -> Panel -> Applications (or something very similar to that13:00
chrisccoulsonNautilus starts in "Desktop" phase13:00
chrisccoulsonand gnome-panel starts in "Panel"13:00
bratscheSo it's not trying to do them in parallel?13:00
seb128the issue is to know if gnome-panel is done actually loading applets, etc when sending the signal13:00
seb128bratsche, right that's the idea, hey btw ;-)13:00
bratscheMorning seb128! :)13:01
chrisccoulsonno, it does them sequentially, to ensure things like the window manager are done loading before running any applications13:01
bratscheOkay, fair enough.13:01
chrisccoulsonso, gnome-panel won't even being loading until Nautilus connected to the session manager13:01
chrisccoulsonso, with the current situation, you could probably actually drop the patch from Nautilus13:01
chrisccoulsonbecause Nautilus will already be loaded when gnome-panel tells xsplash that it is done13:02
bratscheBut you think the signal is emitted before panel has loaded all its applets?13:02
bratscheThat's good to know.  I'll drop the Nautilus signal fu in xsplash.13:02
chrisccoulsonbratsche - in the case of gnome-panel, it connects to the session manager just before calling gtk_main(), which is long before anything is displayed I think13:02
bratscheOh okay.  I'm pulling down the source and I'll try to find this.13:03
chrisccoulsoni don't know how early Nautilus connects to the session manager (whether it is before or after drawing the desktop)13:03
chrisccoulsonif it connects after drawing the desktop (which it should do really), then the nautilus patch could be dropped13:04
bratscheDo you know where in the panel code it's doing this callback?13:05
bratscheWell, since everything happens sequentially can't we just drop the Nautilus patch altogether?13:05
bratscheExcept that some users may not be using panel I guess..13:06
chrisccoulsonbratsche - gnome-panel calls panel_session_init from main() right before gtk_main()13:07
chrisccoulsonpanel_session_init does the stuff which registers with the session manager13:07
bratschegnome_client_connect (client);13:08
bratscheI guess13:08
chrisccoulsonthat's the one:)13:09
bratscheI wonder if it would work to move that until later.13:09
bratscheI'm going to try. :)13:09
chrisccoulsononce that has happened, gnome-session then progresses on to the next phase (Application), because there are no other applications starting in the panel phase13:09
chrisccoulsonmoving it later would work - but it would also stall the session loading until all the applets loaded13:10
chrisccoulsonand that might not please some people ;)13:10
bratscheWe really should find some way to parallelize certain parts of the session startup it sounds.13:11
chrisccoulsonbratsche - that's already mostly the case. these phases are there to make sure that certain things load before others13:11
chrisccoulsoneg, gnome-settings-daemon must start before anything begins to draw on the screen13:12
chrisccoulsonand the window manager must be started before any windows appear13:12
chrisccoulsoni don't know if it is possible to parallelize nautilus and gnome-panel though13:12
chrisccoulsonbut most stuff starts in the last phase anyway13:12
chrisccoulsonand that happens in parallel13:12
vuntzchrisccoulson, bratsche: so13:13
chrisccoulsonbratsche - http://live.gnome.org/SessionManagement/NewGnomeSession explains the session management stuff quite well :)13:13
chrisccoulsonhi vuntz13:13
bratscheSo most of this stuff is new to me, I mostly only know gtk+ very much.  So this is kind of cool to me. :)13:13
bratscheHi vuntz13:13
vuntzvery quickly (busy with other things, but I keep being highlighter when you say gnome-session or panel ;-))13:13
vuntzthe panel connects to the SM as soon as it has set the hint about struts13:14
chrisccoulsonand that is before the panel or any applets are displayed isn't it?13:15
vuntzthis way, when nautilus starts displaying icons on the desktop, nautilus knows where to put icons13:15
vuntzwe don't want to wait for applets because it's looooong13:15
vuntzand this would block everything else13:15
chrisccoulsonah, right - that's an important point bratsche - nautilus starts after gnome-panel13:15
chrisccoulsoni got that bit wrong :-/13:15
bratscheSo if I can just find the place in the code where all applets are finished loading, I could put robert_ancell's signal there..13:15
vuntzbratsche: it's trivial13:15
vuntzbratsche: panel_applet_queue_initial_unhide_toplevels()13:16
vuntzbratsche: what would this code do?13:16
bratschevuntz: So the background here is that we want a splash screen that fades out once the desktop is totally ready to use, we don't want the user to see things loading and such.13:17
vuntzbratsche: full-desktop splash?13:18
bratscheYes.13:18
vuntzbratsche: here's how I'd like you to do it so it goes upstream13:19
vuntzbratsche: we already have org.gnome.Panel13:19
vuntzcreate a signal there13:19
vuntzand in panel_applet_queue_initial_unhide_toplevels, send this signal13:19
chrisccoulsonthat sounds good. bratsche - is xsplash connected to the users session bus?13:20
vuntz(and just want to point out that you should discuss this upstream)13:21
bratscheNo, I think right now it's started by gdm.. its own dbus stuff is on the system bus I think.13:21
bratschevuntz: Thanks very much!13:21
vuntzalso, stupid example:13:22
chrisccoulsonbrb13:22
vuntzgnome-volume-contorl13:22
vuntzwill you wait for it to be shown before removing the splash?13:22
vuntzif yes, this means waiting for all autostart apps, but, this might be slower than what you'd like13:23
chrisccoulsonthe splash will be removed before displaying the volume control i think13:23
vuntzbut really, if you want it to do it the right way according to upstream, at least send a mail to d-d-l so that people can comment13:24
bratscheOkay cool, will do.13:25

vuntzI think I've cleaned up my list of completely urgent things to do13:28
vuntzseb128: so if you have a list of patches, feel free to send it :-)13:29
seb128bratsche, but alex is back and fixed it in git since13:29
bratscheOh nice!13:29
vuntzah, the bug on the root window. Cool, was wondering what the fix was ;-)13:32
chrisccoulsonhi bratsche - i don't know if i missed any discussion while i was away.13:32
chrisccoulsonare you concerned about things like gnome-volume-control and nm-applet starting after the splash went away?13:33
seb128chrisccoulson, I don't think we are no13:33
bratscheI'm not concerned about them13:33
chrisccoulsoncool:)13:33
seb128vuntz, I would give you bug numbers with patches if bugzilla was responding13:33
vuntzchrisccoulson: you only missed me complaining that this should be discussed on d-d-l ;-)13:34
vuntzseb128: so you'll be happy with the upgrade :-)13:34
bratschevuntz: What's the right way to do this?  I was going to try to work up a patch and post it to d-d-l as I bring this up.13:34
seb128vuntz, yes ;-)13:34
vuntzbratsche: well, maybe just say "we want to do that, we think we'll be doing it this way. Patch will be done soon, please comment now if you think the method is wrong"13:35
chrisccoulsonvuntz, ok, thanks:) we should probably stop talking about gnome-session and gnome-panel now, else you will be ping'd constantly ;)13:35
vuntzchrisccoulson: nah, that's fine13:35
vuntzit's cool to see good activity!13:36
seb128vuntz, so bugzilla behaves now13:36
bratschevuntz: Cool, thanks!13:36

ubottuGnome bug 341441 in general "Changing screen resolution randomizes applets position in the panel" [Major,New]13:36
chrisccoulsonso, bratsche - you probably still want the change in nautilus too, as that starts after gnome-panel anyway13:36
seb128vuntz, not sure why federico closed the bug with patch as duplicate makes harder to spot the change13:36

superm1chrisccoulson, missed you after you responded yesterday. so with this new setup, do I understand correctly that GSD applies the gtk theme and what not to gdm, and pulseaudio allows the hotkeys (and pulseaudio) to work during gdm too?14:09
superm1I thought pulseaudio ran as the user's uid once he or she got logged in14:09
chrisccoulsonsuperm1 - g-s-d runs in the gdm session now, so that the theme will be applied. i don't know about media keys or pulseaudio in the GDM session though, as some g-s-d plugins are disabled in the GDM session i think14:11
chrisccoulsonbut pulseaudio is a recommends of g-s-d now because the media-keys plugin needs it for the volume buttons in the user session14:11
superm1ok.  that logically makes sense. i suppose14:12
chrisccoulsonyour concern is about pulling in pulseaudio on mythbuntu isn't it?14:13
superm1yeah14:13
superm1i can't seem to find a way to block it from getting pulled in since gsd is pulled in now for gdm and it's a recommends there14:13
chrisccoulsonyeah, i'm not sure what else to say really - gnome is depending more and more on pulseaudio now, and it's getting difficult to run gnome components without it14:14
seb128is mythbuntu gnome based?14:14
superm1xfce based14:14
chrisccoulsondidn't xfce go to xdm for the login manager, for this reason?14:14
seb128so maybe you should look at using a different login manager14:15
superm1xubuntu is still doing gdm14:15
superm1kdm would add half of kde, so that's not the best of ideas either14:16
seb128right the recommend changes were good enough there14:16
seb128but they are fine with having pulseaudio I think14:16
chrisccoulsonis xfce using g-s-d though?14:16
chrisccoulsons/xfce/xubuntu14:17
superm1somehow it looks like xubuntu doesn't have gnome-settings-daemon in their livefs14:17
superm1(http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/daily-live/20090810/karmic-desktop-i386.manifest) I'm not really sure how they pulled that off.14:17
superm1maybe that will be the solution then14:17
chrisccoulsonsuperm1 - gdm depends on g-s-d | xfconf14:17
chrisccoulsonso, xubuntu is using xfconf rather than g-s-d14:18
superm1chrisccoulson, ah well then that is a bit odd because xfconf is in the mythbuntu livefs too14:18
superm1so there has to be something weird going on here for dependency resolution selection order i suppose14:18
chrisccoulsonpossibly. but you should be able to use either one of them now:)14:19
superm1okay well that explains things significantly better.  i'll set that as the goal to solve here, just need the means to an end.  thanks chrisccoulson !14:19
chrisccoulsonsuperm1 - you're welcome14:20
chrisccoulsonright, i must start some work now, i've hardly done anything today14:20

seb128vuntz, yes the libslab copy in g-c-c is wanted and whoever roll a tarball should sync the copy before14:55
seb128(quicker to reply there than on the list)14:55
vuntzseb128: sure, but, hrm, why is it wanted?15:00
seb128vuntz, because some distributors don't use gnome-main-menu and don't want to add an extra system lib for the shell only15:00
seb128we are trying to reduce the number of depends not to add random libs used by one thing15:01
vuntzseb128: let me ask the question in another way: what does it change? :-)15:01
vuntzok15:01
seb128vuntz, it changes that it's easier to build gnome-control-center using a copy than to support a system lib which has no frequent tarballs, etc15:02
seb128ie having it in g-c-c means only that code will be buggy, having it as a system lib installed by default would mean considering any "client" for that lib15:03
vuntzdon't understand the last sentence :-)15:03
vuntzdoing releases is not an issue15:03
vuntzyour best argument is your very first one ("reduce number of ...")15:03
seb128vuntz, well, if that was an official client lib we would need to make sure abi is not changing, etc15:03
vuntzwhy?15:03
vuntzthe libwnck API can change15:04
vuntzor ABI15:04
seb128well that the soname change15:04
vuntzit's really the same thing, isn't it?15:04
vuntzit's just "yet another library"15:04
seb128well for one thing we want less libs and not extra ones15:04
vuntzsure, and I can understand that15:04
seb128and for an another thing we don't really care if gnome-control-center is buggy15:05
seb128but we would care that a system lib shipped and which can be used by any customer is buggy15:05
vuntzbut15:05
vuntzhrm15:05
vuntzseb128: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=gnome-main-menu&searchon=names&suite=karmic&section=all15:05
seb128vuntz, it's in universe15:05
vuntzyou have gnome-main-menu (in universe, I guess)15:05
vuntzso you'll have libslab15:06
seb128vuntz, right it's in universe, a community thing and not something we official support15:06
seb128officially15:06
seb128honestly libslab has been crappy for a while and I would want better to not have to officially support it15:07
seb128it doesn't follow GNOME schedules, has no frequent tarballs, etc15:07
vuntzI'm not saying libslab is good :-)15:07
vuntzbut if you don't care about the control center shell, then you can just not build it15:08
seb128vuntz, I want the interface but not libslab as a system lib15:09
vuntzseb128: my point is that you have to officially support the libslab code anyway, in that case.15:11
vuntzanyway, let's wait from feedback from others15:11
vuntzI guess we can just add some configure.in code to detect if there's an external libslab15:11
seb128vuntz, that's what we do now no?15:11
seb128vuntz, it fall back to copy if there is no lib15:12
vuntznope15:12
vuntzalways internal copy15:12
seb128hum, that's buggy15:12
vuntzand it even installs headers :-)15:12
vuntzwithout a pkg-config file, because we want the most broken situation15:12

mptmac_v, I saw 410636 in my Inbox earlier. Highlighting the first item by default makes sense if, and only if, (a) you're using the "Trigger secondary click by holding down the primary button" option and (b) the first item does what a click on the left button would do. That would eliminate an unpleasant difference between the effect of holding down the button for N milliseconds and holding it down for N+1 milliseconds. But that combination of cir18:53
mptcumstances hardly ever happens (and never happens in Nautilus afaik).18:53
mptAn example of where it did happen was in Netscape 4 for Mac, where holding down the mouse button on a link would eventually open the context menu but with an "Open this Link" item pre-selected under the cursor, so if you released without moving it was exactly the same as if you'd clicked for a shorter time.18:54
mpts/left/primary/18:55
mac_vmpt: right-click creates accidental "new folders" , which is not the left button option18:58
mptIndeed not. :-)18:58
MDC2mpt, so a change in gtk is in place?18:58
mptMDC2, it would make sense, yes18:59
mac_vmpt: also in the gnome-menu , right click ads launcher to panel , which is again not the left click option... the list goes on! i think for mow the change in gtk is ideal19:00
mac_vadds*19:00
seb128what do you want to change?19:00
mptI think you should only need to move the pointer 1px to select the first item, though. Anything more to prevent accidental selections is better handled by more general solutions like an "Ignore accidental drags" option in mouse/touchpad settings.19:00
mac_vseb128: not highlight the first menu option , move the pop-up menu a few pixels away from the pointer will accom plish that19:00
seb128hum19:01
seb128I think having it selected in handy19:01
seb128but apparently I'm an anti-usability user, ie I use things you guy don't like ;-)19:01
MDC2mac_v, seb128, or just wait a few ms before one can make a selection19:01
mac_vMDC2: thats not ideal19:01
seb128what is the issue there? people who left click expect what?19:01
seb128to close the menu?19:01
seb128same when opening using the keyboard19:03
seb128anyway, diner time19:03
seb128bbl19:03
mptseb128, the problem also occurs if you double-right-click.19:03
MDC2seb128, especilly with my mouse right clicking to bring up a menu results in about 40% results in a the first option being selected (accidently)19:03
mptseb128, whereas every other type of menu does nothing if you open and close it in the same spot.19:03
MDC2seb128, but I might be a crappy user :-)19:03
mac_vmpt:  the weird thing is , menu button doesnt highlight the options!19:05
mptmac_v, what do you mean by "menu button"?19:05
mac_vmpt: the one next to the alt , which triggers the right-click menu19:06
mptOh, I don't have one of those :-)19:06
mptSo the context menu key opens the menu in a slightly different place from where the secondary button opens it?19:07
mac_vmpt: no... same place ... but with the menu button , the option does not prelight19:07
mptbut then it highlights when you move the pointer in any direction?19:08
MDC2mpt, I think that's a bug in gtk because it doesnt look where the mouse is when you press a key in the keyboard and therefor doesn't select the first option19:08
* mpt wonders what the equivalent combo is for the context menu key19:08
MDC2mpt, yes it does19:08
mac_vmpt: yes19:09
mpthow weird19:09
mptmac_v, how's progress going in the other icons-in-menus bugs?19:10
mptthanks again for your work on those19:11
dobeymy right-click menus never get the first item selected. i have to move the mouse into the menu for that19:12
dobeythough i do agree with the idea that right click activating a menu item might be a bit confusing19:12
mac_vmpt: MDC2 has been fixing the nautilus issues , but there is lack of motivation from other devs , maybe when Karmic hits bea and they are flooded with bugs they will move the a$$19:12

MDC2mac_v, easy one.. give me a few sec... ;-)19:37
mac_vMDC2: oops! looks like bryce has already done the patch! let me find a different bug19:38
MDC2mac_v, yeah, was about to say the same19:39
MDC2mac_v, anyone discussing the bug upstream?19:39
MDC2mac_v, if you don't find a bug I think I'll go with this one; http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8552319:40
ubottuGnome bug 85523 in general "Tile horizontally/vertically" [Enhancement,New]19:40
mac_vi think , you just need to add bryce'c  patch ustream19:40
MDC2mac_v, as cosimo said in the upstrem patch; he wants someone to bring up the discussion on the mailing list..19:41
MDC2(and i'm no good at that)19:41
seb128MDC2, you should perhaps buy a working mouse?19:51
seb128design decisions should not be made based on broken hardware ;-)19:52
MDC2seb128, yep, it was a cheap crappy mouse, buying a new is on my todo list - anyone you could recommend?19:52
MDC2true true :-)19:52
seb128no19:52
seb128I never got a mouse with right click not working without a broken connection19:52
MDC2but its not *that* crappy..19:52
seb128and I had crappy mouses19:52
seb128well it you can click without getting several events it's not crappy right19:53
seb128it's broken19:53
MDC2well, its mostly working.. :-)19:53
seb128can't19:53
seb128excepted it's clicking for you19:53
seb128which is pretty much not working19:53
MDC2its a smart mouse... knows better than his owner19:53
MDC2he wants a folder now and then19:54
seb128so no point to change the menu selection if would move too ;-)19:54
seb128Ampelbein, chrisccoulson, huats: want to do some updates?19:55

MDC2mac_v, did you find any always-icon bug?20:29
MDC2mac_v, noticed that gedit doesnt have icons for instance20:30
mac_vMDC2: hehe... bored aye... ;p i havent searched yet, just got tied up with something else , will inform you when i find one..20:30
MDC2mac_v, not bored directly ;-) have stuff to do.. but it would be nice to have icons where they belong in 9.10 :)20:31
MDC2mac_v, but don't rush - i will soon go eat something - but for tonight it would be nice to do a few patches :-)20:33
Laneyseb128: Good, just closing bugs20:33
seb128cool20:33
Laneythere might be a ptp regression though, don't know if it's my hardware20:33
Laneybe a good idea to organise some testing20:33
mac_vMDC2: several icon bugs are not reported , since user have just turned the gconf option on...20:33
seb128we can figure that based on user feedback after upgrade20:34
mac_vMDC2: are you good with only metacity and naulitus? or any app?20:34
seb128best testing = upload20:34
MDC2mac_v, well... i can try any app20:34

seb128mac_v, I'm not really in favor of that, that would break all translations22:10
seb128mac_v, especially that djsiegel comment upstream suggest it's not so clear22:11
mac_vseb128: so , its a wishlist until upstream decides?22:11
seb128I would prefer having somebody to engage this discussion as requested upstream before we change22:12
seb128that would avoid breaking all translations and having to explain to upstream later why we didnt do what they asked for and changed in ubuntu only22:12
Laneyseb128: I think it's ready, but I'd prefer meebey to review as I changed the build system22:13
mac_vseb128: ok22:13
seb128Laney, does it build? ;-)22:14

djsiegelthat's the main reason I think we should not use "clean up"22:25
seb128don't ask me about windows, I've no used it for years22:25
djsiegelI also agree with what someone said earlier, that it should transition to a persistent state "Keep Arranged by Name" or something22:26

seb128lool, not that I know, maybe bryce has ideas22:36
seb128it's not really my area I'm not sure what would be useful there22:37
loolk22:37
brycelool, you're not seeing the screen blanking when gnome-power-manager is not running?22:37
loolbryce: I didn't so far22:37
loolIt has been some days that I regularly kill GPM22:38
loolPerhaps 2.5 days22:38
brycelool, well I think the next thing we need for debugging is exact steps to reproduce22:38
brycelool, perhaps it would also be helpful to see if gpm has debugging info that can be turned on22:38
loolbryce: I can tell that nothing particular is happening when the screen shuts down22:38
loolIt seems truly random22:38
* bryce nods22:38
brycewell, bugs that are "truly random" are awfully hard to debug22:39
seb128bryce, debug infos for something not running?22:39
MDC2mac_v, should also the Documents menu have icons for the open tabs? (note they don't had them before, not the recent files in File either - but i'm fixing it)22:39
bryceseb128, well of course it'd need to be turned back on...22:39
loolbryce: Is there an option to log things like Xorg supending the screen?22:39
brycelool, dunno22:39
seb128bryce, you think gpm infos are revelant if the bug is not a gpm one?22:40
loolI suspect GPM probes stuff regularly and we hit a bug in Xorg or something like that22:40
mac_vbryce: i dint notice you unassinged the "Arrange by Name" bug , and after realizing that you had a patch done i reassigned it to you, you dont want it assigned it to you ?22:40

MDC2mac_v, ok - seems a little strange with no icons in the document menu though as they're object/documents.. but if radios is enough - np22:52
mac_vMDC2: if we add the icons then that woould throw off the menu padding for the rest of the menu ,22:53
MDC2mac_v, yes it would. so we need some exceptions in the HIG then :)22:53
