Hello
I'm writing a small kiosk browser plugin, i'm hitting a problem where before I spawn the web browser i call pygame.event.set_grab(0) which I understand should then free the mouse. However The mouse is still locked. Here is the code sample:
popup_string=_("Starting Web Browser...") pop = PopupBox(text=popup_string) pop.show() pygame.event.set_grab(0) os.system('mozilla-firebird') pygame.event.set_grab(1) pop.destroy()
Any ideas?
What I have done in this situation is use the existing games plugin. I wrote a generic *.sh handler to open with bash, then I wrote simple shell scripts to exec each program. I use it mostly for games for my daughter, so being under the heading Games is ok.
in local_conf.py:
DIR_GAMES = [ ('Educational', '/var/media/games/educational',
('GENERIC', '/bin/sh', '', '', [ 'sh' ] )) ]in /var/media/games/educational:
# cat Childsplay.sh #! /bin/sh
exec childsplay
Maybe the games plugin should be simply extended to be a generic Applications plugin? That would eliminate the need to write your specific plugin.
