Features/GTK3/Shell

Daniel Drake started an effort to port the shell to the GTK3 sugar-toolkit. These are the biggest issues identified so far:

Custom tree model for journal

Having trouble reimplementing this. See http://mail.gnome.org/archives/python-hackers-list/2011-December/msg00010.html

Custom Icon cell renderer

sugar3.graphics.icon.CellRendererIcon is based on pygtks GenericCellRenderer - needs to be ported

do_forall not working in pygobject

Needs:

• https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=663052 gobject-introspection not yet merged
• https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=644926 pygobject missing header file in patch. not yet merged

cant call gdkwindow.raise()

raise is reserved word in Python. Workaround: getattr(win, 'raise')()

See http://mail.gnome.org/archives/python-hackers-list/2011-December/msg00011.html

xklavier

python-xklavier is based on pygtk codegen, we can probably just drop the link to pygtk, but failing that, we will need introspection bindings.
