Features/GTK3/Shell

The printable version is no longer supported and may have rendering errors. Please update your browser bookmarks and please use the default browser print function instead.

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.

gdk_property_get

Not working:

def _property_get_trapped(window, prop, prop_type):
    Gdk.error_trap_push()

    prop_atom = Gdk.Atom.intern(prop, False)
    type_atom = Gdk.Atom.intern(prop_type, False)

    logging.warning("get prop %s %s %s", window, prop_atom, type_atom)
    prop_info = Gdk.property_get(window, prop_atom, type_atom, 0, 9999, False)

TypeError: Could not caller allocate argument 6 of callable property_get
