BonoboUI stores toolbar state in GConf. But the programmer has to specify the GConf key, so it isn't 100% automatic (thankfully). > > I'd shoot for something transparent, that you simply threw a switch in > the application and ~user/.appname/state was generated and kept up to > date automatically for you. That'd be a killer feature for app-writers. Let's not get carried away. I bet this problem will eventually get solved by the GNOME folks. I will probably involve GConf, by making GConf depend on D-Bus instead of Bonobo, then gtk+ would depend on GConf, and we live happily ever after. Of course, if wiki wants to do its own thing in the mean time[1], it makes perfect sense. [1] could take a long time to get this implemented in gtk+, if one remembers about the file selector... -- Gustavo João Alves Marques Carneiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The universe is always one step beyond logic. _______________________________________________ pygtk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk Read the PyGTK FAQ: http://www.async.com.br/faq/pygtk/
