rickspencer3hi TheMuso00:01

rickspencer3robert_ancell, there's 5 minutes you'll never get back00:14
rickspencer3waiting for me to find an irrelevant email00:14
robert_ancellrickspencer3, :)00:14
bratscheHey robert_ancell!00:18
robert_ancellbratsche, hey cody00:19
robert_ancellbratsche, how is xsplash going?00:19
bratscheIt's going okay.  David thinks it's loading too slowly on his machine, but we're having no luck so far finding ways to speed it up.00:20
robert_ancellah, overheads00:22
robert_ancellbratsche, hey, could you take a quick look at an old GTK+ bug I filed and see if it is correctly marked invalid? https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57809500:23
ubottuGnome bug 578095 in uimanager/actions "gtk_widget_show() overrides visible property of GtkAction" [Normal,Resolved: notabug]00:23
bratscheSure.00:23
bratscherobert_ancell: Christian seems right.. but I also don't think I've ever used GtkAction::visible so maybe I'm not thinking about it right.00:30
robert_ancellbratsche, it seems odd because then the action visible state doesn't match the n widgets state.  Anyway that change probably broke a lot of peoples code...00:30
=== rickspencer3 is now known as rickspencer3-afk
bratscheDid it not always work this way?00:31
robert_ancellno, I guess gtk_widget_show() used to ignore widgets that were connected to actions00:33
bratscheDoes it still?00:33
robert_ancellno, you can show() and hide() widgets that are connected to an action.00:34
bratscheWe could try to set "no-show-all" on related widgets I guess.  But if not perhaps we should at least make a note of this in the documentation.00:35
kwwiijust got the xsplash artwork...cool stuff, whoever was responsible, I thank you personally00:46
bratschemt00:47
kwwiilol00:47
bratschekwwii: Hey, how's it going?  I got your email this morning.  Let me read it again and remember what I was supposed to respond to, because I forgot to come back to it. :)00:47
kwwiiI bet he didn't include the package in the distro00:47
TheMusoYeah I am glad that the artwork package has now been separated. Time to do somethign about Studio's xsplash. :)00:48
kwwiiTheMuso: exactly :)00:48
bratscheYeah, I can't wait to see what Studio has!00:48
kwwiiwell, I will look forward to seeing how this workson different resolutions00:48
kwwiiI think we have a lot of work ahead ofus00:49
bratschekwwii: Oh yeah, I need to find out where the metacity themes should be installed right?00:49
kwwiised/ofus/of us00:49
kwwiibratsche: I cannot figure out how the theme is set00:49
kwwiiit is not a gconf key00:49
kwwiithat I can find at least00:49
kwwiiand it is not in /usr/share/gdm/themes00:49
bratschemetacity is probably just pulling in whatever gtk theme is set.00:49
kwwiithat still has the old themes in it00:50
kwwiifrom the old package I guess00:50
kwwiiI need to update that package to install it into the same dir00:50
kwwiiand then point gdm to that gtk and metacity theme00:50
kwwiibut I don't understand how to do that :p00:50
kwwiiI don<00:51
kwwiierm00:51
bratscheWhat did Jaunty do?  There was custom gdm theming in Jaunty right?00:51
kwwiiJaunty had the old gdm00:51
bratscheOh, we have a different gdm.00:51
kwwiiwhich had an xml file00:51
kwwiino doubt ;)00:51
kwwiithere is a panel at the bottom, with lots of applets which we also need to kill00:52
kwwiihonestly, we are way behind the game on gdm00:52
kwwiianyway00:52
kwwiithe thing is, I cannot find any info on this and everyone I ask tells me that when I figure it out I should tell them00:53
kwwiianyway...almost 2am...bonne nuit00:54
bratscheGood night!00:54
chrisccoulsonthe theming for GDM now is just the same as a normal user session isn't it? (metacity theme is set in /apps/metacity/general/theme), and all the themes just go in /usr/share/themes00:55
TheMusoIf you mean gdm theme, it now uses parts of the theming from gnome-session, i.e background, etc.01:01
TheMusokwwii: I'll jump on later tonight when you are up and I can work through this with you.01:01
TheMusobratsche: Basically now that gdm uses parts of gnome-session, the gconf keys that gnome-session/gnome-settings-daemon use to set the theme is what is needed to set the theme for gdm, but only for the gdm user.01:03
chrisccoulsonand you can't change the panel position/layout in the greeter either01:04
chrisccoulsonthats hard coded01:04
chrisccoulsonso if you want no panel, then you need to patch GDM to not draw one01:04
TheMusochrisccoulson: Right. That could be changed by adding gconf keys to take care of that.01:04
chrisccoulsonTheMuso - there's no gconf keys for the GDM greeter panel AFAICT01:05
chrisccoulsonit's all hard-coded01:05
TheMusochrisccoulson: But my point is that it surely wouldn't be hard to remove the hard coding, and use gconf keys.01:06

Amaranththe release notes says software store is going to replace add/remove under applications02:18
AmaranthI thought mpt said having it under system was the right spot for it to be?02:18
TheMusoC03:30
Amaranthbratsche: what should I do to figure out why xsplash isn't working? I just get a black screen until gdm login window06:21
bratscheUhh.06:22
bratscheCheck /usr/share/images/xsplash06:22
bratscheDo you have all the images/06:22
bratscheugh, I can't type.06:22
bratscheI've been drinking way too much tonight.06:23
Amaranthbratsche: yep06:23
bratscheHmm.06:23
bratscheopen a terminal06:24
bratschesudo -u gdm xsplash06:24
AmaranthI get a warning about logging being disabled and it exits06:24
bratscheOh weird.. do you have /etc/dbus/system.d/xsplash.conf?06:24
Amaranthdbus-1 but yes06:25
bratscheOh yeah, right.06:25
bratscheCheck the user in that file.. is it gdm?06:25
Amaranthroot06:25
bratschewtf06:25
bratscheIt should be gdm.06:25
Amaranthsudo xsplash does the same thing, btw06:26
bratscheTry changing that file to say user is gdm.06:26
Amaranththere we go, fixed06:26
bratscheWeird.06:26
Amaranthbratsche: apt-get source xsplash shows the original file says root too06:27
bratscheSomething got b0rked in the packaging then.06:27
Amaranthor in autogen06:27
bratscheYeah, there should be a --with-user=gdm parameter06:27
Amaranthyou don't seem to have any code in data/Makefile.am to generate the xsplash.conf from xsplash.conf.in06:28
bratschekenvandine: ^06:28
bratscheAmaranth: I think it's in configure.ac06:29
bratscheAmaranth: xsplash-0.8.1/debian/rules sets DEB_CONFIGURE_EXTRA_FLAGS += --with-user=gdm06:30
Amaranthin that case perhaps the bug is that xsplash.conf is shipped in the tarball06:30
bratscheMaybe.06:30
bratscheI'll ping kenvandine in the morning about it.06:31
Amaranthhrm, local build worked06:31

chrisccoulsonhey pitti - i was going to work on a MIR for libgda4 this afternoon, but i need to update the package first. i put the upstream changelog in bug 432169 - would you mind taking a quick glance and saying if you think the update would be ok without doing a FF exception?09:18

chrisccoulsonactually, brb, breakfast just arrived at work!09:19
kwwiiTheMuso: hey, any idea what to do with gdm? I assume we just need to make it look for a gconf key for the right theme09:51
Amaranthkwwii: Actually it uses all the regular desktop theming stuff09:53
Amaranthso it probably won't just be one key09:53
kwwiiAmaranth: right, but we want to set a different gtk and metacity theme09:53
kwwiifrom what I understand it is all hard coded just to use the gnome session settings09:54

seb128see ;-)10:02
chrisccoulsonhey pitti, sorry, i had to disappear for breakfast right after asking you a question ;)10:02
mvochrisccoulson: did you get my question about compiz and nvidia?10:02
chrisccoulsonthanks for commenting on the bug by the way10:02
chrisccoulsonhi mvo - i did. i will respond when i get home from work if that is ok:)10:02
TheMusokwwii: I am about to have dinner. I'll jump on and chat about it with you afterwards if thats ok.10:03
kwwiiTheMuso: cool, thanks10:05
mvochrisccoulson: can you give me a quick overview, i.e. on what hardware/driver you see the failure and how to reproduce maybe?10:08
chrisccoulsonmvo - i will do10:09
Amaranthasac: Ever hear anything about firefox keyboard shortcuts not working if you use xmodmap to swap control and super?10:12
chrisccoulsonmvo - i'm running the latest 185 version of the driver and i have a 8800GT card. if i switch user using the indicator-session applet (which will lock the screen as it switches VT), i always get a white screen when i switch back to my session again (assuming "unredirect fullscreen windows" is disabled)10:12
seb128Amaranth, hey10:13
Amaranthseb128: howdy10:13
seb128did you look at this keybinding compiz issue?10:13
Amaranthhaven't yet, no10:14
chrisccoulsonseb128 - can you play CD's in rhythmbox ok? I just get a "No URI handler for cdda" warning in the console when i try to play a CD10:14
chrisccoulsoni'm wondering if i'm missing something :-/10:14
seb128chrisccoulson, there is a bug opened recently on gst-plugins-base0.1010:14
seb128apparently the cdda handling changed10:15
seb128and rhythmbox gives uris not working with it10:15
chrisccoulsonseb128 - ok, thanks. i'll have a look for that one10:15
seb128I've just read the comment10:15
seb128I didn't look at the issue yet10:15
seb128if you want to open an upstream bug you are welcome ;-)10:15
mvochrisccoulson: thanks, I will try to reproduce, i got the same driver10:15
seb128the bug might have been reassigned to rhythmbox10:15
chrisccoulsonmvo - thanks10:15
chrisccoulsonmvo - i'm wondering if the issue could be worked around by locking the screen before doing the VT switch?10:16
chrisccoulsonthen everyone could have "unredirect fullscreen windows" disabled10:16
Amaranthoh crap they haven't fixed that yet?10:16
chrisccoulsonadmittedly, it still doesn't solve the underlying driver issue, and other windows that appear on the inactive VT will still appear as white boxes10:16
* Amaranth stabs nvidia repeatedly10:16
AmaranthI believe we reported that one 3 or 4 years ago...10:17
chrisccoulsonAmaranth - no, it's still not fixed10:17
chrisccoulsonit's so annoying to have white boxes appear everywhere wheni switch users10:17
Amaranth*sigh*10:17
AmaranthSo...when are we switching to nouveau? :)10:17
chrisccoulsoni hate nvidia10:17
kklimondaheh10:18
mvoyeah, I have a vague memeory from the old report that it was supposed to be fixed10:19
mvooh well10:19
chrisccoulsonmvo - by "fixed", i think it was actually just "worked around" for the screensaver case10:22
Amaranthmvo: the workaround was unredirect fullscreen windows10:22
AmaranthI think that's actually why we enabled it10:23
Amaranthmvo: btw, I've only seen one user with performance problems on nvidia with that disabled10:23
Amaranthif we can do something about the screensaver I'd rather leave it disabled considering everything else if affects10:24
chrisccoulsoni'd rather have it disabled too, as it creates a lot of flicker with fullscreen windows and notify-osd10:26
chrisccoulsonperhaps i will try some hacking today to make sure gnome-screensaver-dialog is up and running before switching to another X screen10:26
asacAmaranth: sounds familiar (modmap thing)10:30

asaca bit ;)11:00
asacget a coffee in the meantime11:00
* Amaranth has visions of building it on OS X11:00
AmaranthThe only good thing I can say about it is at least it doesn't take as long as firefox11:00
mptmac_v, you think that's more complicated than repeating the names of the menus and submenus and making you find them elsewhere?11:01
Amaranthasac: kind of sucks we have to change the ABI though to add in stuff upstream dropped (for anjal or whatever)11:01

mptmvo, not yet, doing that today11:03
asacAmaranth: not sure what its too late for then ;)11:03
asacall i said was: just build debian package ;)11:03
* Amaranth kills build, starts over11:04
mac_vmpt: i think the presence of a launch option in a dialogue, only available after the install [similar to the Add/remove].. is much simpler. I dont think users are going to confuse SS as an app launcher ;)11:04
asacbut yeah. i think its ok to just dro pthe anjal patch11:04
mvothanks mpt11:05
AmaranthI suspect anjal upstream no longer uses that API11:05
mac_vmpt: but thats not how you have SS designed , so thinking of a better option :)11:06
mptmac_v, the problem with the Add/Remove dialog is that it doesn't actually show you how to launch it later. You can't reopen that post-install dialog.11:07
* asac gets a snack from baker next door11:07
mac_vmpt: yeah , i realize that problem :) ... had a notion thats why you have thought of this ;)11:08
mac_vmpt: but something about a second pointer showing up in the main screen doesnt sound right... and if its needed , its better doing it within a modal window of the software store11:10
Amaranthoh, I see what the deal with anjal is, they made up some API but it hasn't been accepted11:10
mptmac_v, better in what way?11:11
mptmac_v, I'm not overly attached to using a separate pointer. Another way would be to draw a ring around the menu and wait for you to open it yourself, then draw a ring around the appropriate submenu, etc.11:11
mptWindows Vista was going to have a similar help mechanism (but Microsoft pulled it before release).11:13
mac_vmpt: having 2 pointers show up on the screen , something totally creeps me out... it sounds like something overridding the system...  but if its done within the SS itself its better , ie: users clicks "where is it" , the screen changes to a desktop and shows the menu and the location... but i think we are over thinking the capacity if users to understand and trying to over spoon feed them. ;p  .... i like the idea of the rings , only problem is11:16
mac_v its similar to XP [highlighting the installed menu,submenu]11:16
mptWhy is that a problem?11:17
mac_vhehe ,yeah... not a problem ;)11:17

loolseb128: We have a serious issue with the Ubuntu Moblin Remix13:13
loolseb128: We build this image from karmic + moblin PPA13:13
loolOne of the software is called anerley and only knows about the C API13:14
loolBut TMC 5 dropped the C API in favour of the DBus one13:14
loolThe effort to port it is significant and while we raised this as a priority item upstream it looks like they wont provide a ported anerley soon13:14
loolseb128: I was told enabling libmcclient in t-m-c-5 would help us in the mean time13:15
loolseb128: Do you think we could enable that?  It's a highly unstable C API13:15
seb128cassidy, pitti: ^ opinions?13:15
seb128lool, you don't think you will manage to fix your software or replace it before karmic?13:15

chrisccoulsoncool, i'll take a look at that14:30
seb128it's only changing the rules to make the testsuite fail on errors14:30
seb128we should convince slomo to apply that to debian too14:30
chrisccoulsonyeah, should be an easy update14:30
chrisccoulsoni mentioned it to slomo before when i did the change in ubuntu14:30
chrisccoulsonpitti - i'm not sure whether i should just update libgda4 to the new upstream version, or also rebase it on debian. if i rebase on debian now, then the package is less maintenance in the future, but they renamed the binary packages14:31
chrisccoulsonwhich would mean rebuilding it's rdepends (which is only anjuta and libgdamm anyway)14:32
seb128better to rename the binaries earlier14:32
seb128less delta to carry for the next lts14:32

mvompt: we have two options, one is to throw up the hands and say "its broken, see how you can fix it", the other one is to run "update-manager" in repair mode. now update-manager in repair mode is a modified version of the release upgrader15:32
mvompt: and it needs root to run (no fancy aptdaemon backend unfortunately)15:33
mvoalternatively we could try to repair ourselfs, but I would rather have one central app that can do it (and that would be u-m)15:33
pittikenvandine: ah, I just see tedg's PPA branch there; I won't use that then, and just upload your debdiff? or do you also have an ubuntu-desktop branch for ubuntu now?15:34
kenvandineyes15:34
kenvandinejust debdiff15:34
kenvandinei followed your advice :)15:34
asacjcastro: ok thanks. i dropped it now15:34
pittikenvandine: uh, what a patch :)15:35
mptmvo, ok. Next question: In what situations can the Store discover that the cache is broken? Could it happen at any time while the Store is open? Or would it always be immediately after launch?15:35
kenvandinepitti, hopefully it will be the only change for karmic :)15:37
mvompt: it could in theory happen anytime (because the user installs something out-of-band). but usually it would appear on startup15:38
mvompt: also not quite on startup, because the cache is opened in the background, so it maybe ~10-30s later15:38
Amaranthlibindicate-qt0 ships a libindicate-qt.so.1 file when it used to ship a libindicate-qt.so.0 file15:41
AmaranthShouldn't the package name have changed?15:41
mptmvo, ok, so I guess it needs to be an error alert of some sort, rather than (for example) a replacement for the lobby screen. Next question: What do you mean by "broken" specifically? Can you give an example of how this happens?15:42
mvompt: if someone uses dpkg directly and does not honor dependencies, if someone shuts down the machine (via pulling the powercord) during a running upgrade etc15:45
mvompt: this is the usual situation15:45
chrisccoulsonAmaranth - yes it should have changed if the SO version changed15:46
loolseb128: Hey; so I chatted about telepathy/moblin with the #telepathy folks and they shared the ported moblin bits (yeah!)15:47
loolseb128: The only issue is that this needs new ABI15:47
loolSo they will release a new telepathy-glib which has it in the next two weeks15:47
loolseb128: Would be good to have it in karmic15:47
loolIn the mean time, we'll either add the new ABI as ubuntu or karmic specific abi/api as a new binary package or namespaced headers (or even new source) - OR- add the headers straight to the moblin apps15:48
loolseb128: Will come with reviewable stuff when that's clearer15:48
loolseb128: Shouldn't be disruptive for you; the main things we want is the new telepathy-glib in karmic if possible but not strictly required15:48
mptmvo, ok. Final question for this bug (I think): Does it make any sense to let someone continue using the Store with the cache in its broken state? How likely is it that they'll experience missing applications, uninstallable applications, etc, until it's fixed?15:55
Amaranthchrisccoulson: what importance do you think a bug like that should have in launchpad?15:59
AmaranthI wanna say High since it's a pretty big issue since it's essentially hiding problems from them15:59
mvompt: browsing is fine, the results of installing/removing something is pretty undefinied at this point though16:00
mvompt: its likely that it will just throw a error in this case16:00
pittikenvandine: hm, seems someone beat me to uploading pidgin-libnotify?16:00

mptmvo, ok, so maybe the error alert should appear at the point you click "Install" or "Remove" for any application if the cache is broken. Would that make sense?16:01
mvompt: yes, that would work. I'm not sure if its not something we should tell the user right from the start though. but I don't have a strong opinion aobut this16:02

Sorry I thought I had finished asking questions, but: How difficult is it to add an icon to the right edge of a row in the navigation pane (no matter how wide the pane is), in addition to the existing icon on the left? (I'm asking because we could stick a /!\ icon next to "Installed Software" as a warning that stuff is broken even before you try to install.)16:08
mvompt: probably not terrible difficult16:09
mptmvo, ok, I'll do a spec for this now.16:09
mvompt: could you give me a quick feedback on "The database is rebuilding, please hold on a minute" ?16:09
mvompt: a better string16:10
mptmvo, where is this appearing? In a progress window, or in the main pane?16:10
mvompt: main paine, but as a big overlay (for now)16:11
mvompt: the string is important, the actual appearance can be tweaked16:11
mptmvo, I suggest "Rebuilding application catalogā€¦", then underneath have a determinate progress bar if determinate progress is available, otherwise a spinner16:12
mvompt: a spinner like the loading icon? or a progressbar in pulse mode?16:13
mptmvo, in what situation does that appear? I thought this whole previous conversation was because the Store *couldn't* rebuild the database itself? :-)16:13
mptmvo, like the one used when loading screenshots16:13
mvompt: if update-manager is used for example, or if someone updates the software-store package from within the store16:14
mvompt: thanks for the string, I updated it now. I hope we will not have to use it, but for now I will go with that solution16:16
mvompt: its better than crashing :)16:16
mptdefinitely16:16
mptmvo, hm, I understand this less than I thought I did. If update-manager is being used to do the rebuilding, how is the Store able to show the rebuilding at all?16:16
mvompt: so software-store does not have a package managment lock. if another apps is doing a package managment operation while software-store is running it needs to react.16:18
mvompt: and one operation that crashes it is a update to e.g. app-install-data or software-store itself16:18
mvodoes that make more sense now?16:18
mptmvo, so is this an accurate example? (1) I'm looking at the Games department. (2) In a terminal, I do apt-get install hedgewars. (3) When apt-get finishes, the Store notices this and puts up its rebuilding message.16:20
mvompt: only if the apt-get install touches a file in /usr/share/app-install or software-store itself. then a database rebuild is performed16:21
mvompt: a more realisitic example is that someone get a update for app-install-data-partner because we ship some shinny new application16:21
mvompt: while browsing the store16:21
mvo(he may have auto-updates enabled for example)16:22
mvonow if the apt cache changes, it needs to react too, but that is not implemented yet16:23
mptmvo, ah, so by "if someone updates the software-store package" you meant if they update it elsewhere (e.g. from Update Manager) while the Store is running.16:26
mvompt: exactly16:26
mptok16:26
mvompt: I have uploaded a new version with the changes, there is no spinner currently, I think its easy (trivial even) to add one, its also relatively easy to add progress information. its a simple-matter-of-programming16:27
mptha, I'm too slow16:27
mvotoo slow?16:27
mptGiven what you've just told me, I was just about to suggest something like: "Another program has changed the application catalog. One moment, pleaseā€¦"16:28
mvooh, sorry16:28
mptDoesn't particularly matter, though16:28

mptrugby471, if you have time I was going to ask if you might be interested in having a swing at bug 426257, but if I understand mvo correctly, it's quite difficult16:30

mptoh good16:33
rugby471mpt & mvo: sure I can take a stab at that16:33
mptthanks rugby471!16:33
rugby471unless mvo is already working on it16:33
mptI think that's the biggest UX-related bug at the moment (besides, y'know, the crashers and stuff)16:33
rugby471hehe16:33
mvorugby471: no, I'm done with s-s for today16:33
rugby471mvo: cool16:33
mptmvo, btw, I saw on the project Code page that you were working on the path button stuff. How's that going? (Launchpad annoyingly wouldn't let me try the branch without an SSH key)16:35
mvorugby471: you can make the "rebuilding cataglog" window pretty if you want :)16:35
rugby471mpt: it looks awesome16:35
rugby471mvo: okay I shall have a look :-)16:35
mvompt: good, it looks very nice, but its not functional yet (the integration, the widget itself is ok AFAICT)16:36
rugby471mpt: I shall need to watch mock the week first though :-)16:36
mvompt: its risky to add though, it will be funny for people doing right-to-left languages for example16:36
pittikwwii, mat_t: do you know whom to complain at about the horrible ethernet icon in network-manager? that got into karmic a few weeks ago16:36

mptjolly good show, what16:36
rugby471hehe16:36
rugby471mpt: do you watch mock the week?16:38
mptrugby471, because of the pin pointing at South Africa on your Launchpad page.16:38

kwwiihehe, everyone is having a fit about the ethernet icon16:52
chrisccoulsoni haven't seen the new icon actually, i wonder what everyone is having a fit about16:52
mat_tpitti: cool\16:52
kwwiiI guess that nm upstream changed the icons that they use and/or naming which caused this icon to be shown16:52
chrisccoulsonurgh, now i see16:53
pitticurious how few people are on ethernet these days16:55
chrisccoulsonpitti - i'm on ethernet, but i don't have the default icon theme16:57

mvochrisccoulson: hm, I seem to be unable to reporduce the whie window bug, how odd17:00
chrisccoulsonmvo - yeah, that's a bit strange. i wonder what we have different17:00
mvochrisccoulson: well, I upload a new version with the revert for now17:01
c_kornmpt: hello. I was told to ask you whether the icons in the system menu are added (regarding bug 407621). the system menu is as editable as any other of the main menus in alacarte. in my opinion in therefore also requires icons because it is a dynamic object. also with the current identation it really looks as there are icons missing.17:02

chrisccoulsonmvo - thanks. i'll have a play around on my machine later and see if there are any other settings which affect it17:02
Amaranthhehe, was looking for an old project of mine and discovered a blog post from kenvandine about him using :)17:04
mptc_korn, by that standard, all the items in all OpenOffice.org menus should have icons, because you can add/remove them in "Tools" > "Customize". So that's not the standard of dynamic-ness (dynamicity?) we're using.17:04
AmaranthI do think the System menu should have icons again17:06
AmaranthI can't really think of a good reason why, it just seems right17:06
mac_vlool: hi... i didnt understand why the FFE was needed for UNR ,and the Humanity theme17:10
c_kornthen what is special about the system menu so it does not get icons ? it is as editable as Applications and Places ?17:13
chrisccoulsoni'm not bothered either way about the system menu having icons or not, but the places menu looks horribly broken. i'd actually prefer no icons at all in the places menu rather than the current half-implementation17:13
chrisccoulsoneven my non-tech-savvy girlfriend asked me why the menu was broken17:14
c_kornexactly. the places menu is another problem. and if no icons are present can the identation then be removed, too? it does not make sense like in normal application menus where there can be check boxes and so on17:16
chrisccoulsoni quite like the whitespace in the system menu actually17:16
chrisccoulsoni wish the indicator-session-applet was consistent and had the same whitespace though17:16
c_kornwell then, be it as it may.17:18
chrisccoulsonpitti - i just locally built gnome-python-extras here with the gda bindings built in to a separate package (python-gda), but the extra package ends up with a dependency on python and python2.5. that's not supposed to happen is it? (none of the other bindings do)17:32
pittiweird17:33
pittidoes it b-dep on python2.5?17:33
pittior perhaps the new package doesn't have a correct XB-Python-Version: field in debian/control or so?17:33
chrisccoulsonpitti - it doesn't b-dep on that version, and XB-Python-Version is the same for all of the packages17:34
chrisccoulson"${python:Versions}"17:34
kwwiipitti: btw, after looking into it, it seems that nm is pointing to the wrong icon. I'll bug asac about it17:34

rugby471mpt: about the chess dialog bug18:19
rugby471mpt: it will be easy to fix this bug and correct the text for the generic depends dialog at the same time, however does ui freeze mean that I cannot?18:20

rugby471mpt: done :P18:20
mptrugby471, as I said, I think that merely removing a string doesn't break the UI freeze. I'm not an expert on that, though.18:21
rugby471mpt: however changing one definitely breaks it?18:21
rugby471the current dependency dialog is this:18:22
