I'm playing around with writing my own panel applets, and I'm trying
to figure out how to get my panel applets to be restored when I log
in. As an experiment, I'm using the simple clock applet that comes
with PyGNOME (clock-applet.py). It works fine when I run it from the
shell, but when I log out and log in again, there's just a tiny
GNOME-foot icon where the applet should be.
After poking around in ~/.gnome/panel.d, I think I've figured out that
the panel knows there should be an applet in that spot, but there's
nothing telling it what executable to run to put the applet there. Do
I somehow need to create that mapping, or is the problem something
else altogether?
Applets I add to the panel through the normal process (right-click ->
Applets -> ...) are restored when I log in, as expected.
I'm using GNOME 1.4 on Red Hat 7.3 (sorry, but this is a work system,
and I can't upgrade; I also can't put my code where the system applets
are). Thanks for any help you can offer.

Ah, never mind: adding the applet to my GNOME startup programs list solved it. Duh. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Hi
I want to write an application that has the option of having an icon on the
panel (to hide and show the main window + menu), something like gaim or
rhythmbox. my first choice was pykde (since I use kde) but although I'm a
python newbie, I got the impression from their mailing list that you have
to wait every time a new kde version is out, for the release of the new
bindings (like now, I have kde 3.2 for almost a month, but I can't use...

Can Control Panel applets be created using C#?
I know there is a well-known web page about how to host and enumerate them -- but that's not the same as creating them.
Thanks.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
