Hi list,
when GNOME applications have unsaved data and the user wants to
shutdown, the session manager (?) informs the user about this on the
lightbox-popup with the choices "cancel, restart, shutdown". I believe
that this is done via dbus
(http://www.lucidelectricdreams.com/2011/06/disabling-screensaverlock-screen-on.html)
and I can successfully register an inhibitor using the python example
given there. I'd like to use this mechanism for my console backup
application, so I don't shut down my laptop when a backup is running.
My problem is that the inhibition and the "reason" are not shown during
log out on GNOME 3.4 (Debian stable 32bit). Why is that?
I downloaded the gedit source to check how gedit handles this, but it
uses a GTK+ call:
https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkApplication.html#gtk-application-inhibit
Can anyone give me an idea how I can inhibit shutdown using dbus (I
know that this isn't 100% sure as users could override it)?
Regards
jan
