I am thinking to write a background preference to set background picture. Surely I can put it with system preferences in GNUstep, but I prefer to put it in Etoile. :)
The first question is how Etoile manage the preferences. There are two fake preference application in SVN (LookAndBehavior and Hardware). Do we go for all-in-one style as in MacOS X (and system preference of GNUstep), or one-by-one as Windows ? It seems to be the later one for now. By the way, the main window of both of LookAndBehavior and Hardware are broken now. There is no title bar and is not movable. Is it a known bug ? The second question is how these preferences are set when the system is up ? In my case, user can set the background picture and the background preference can set the background of xwindow root window. But when user starts xwindow for the next time and later, this background preference is not executed. Therefore, the background will not be set again. I can have Azalea to read this preference and set the xwindow background right. But some preferences may not have a main application in charge with. I wonder how these preferences will be set ? Is there a daemon to read through these preferences and set it right ? And is there a domain in NSUserDefaults to save these system preferences or each preference pane or preference application saves in its own domain ? Thanx.
