inserting "underlined" characters

2009-02-12 Thread Fanen Ahua
If I wanted to insert these characters into a gnome editor application,
say in an evolution email, you know how I can do that? I have the
"compose" key enabled, and can insert characters like ô without trouble.

Thanks in advance,

Hi,
thanks. I asked Jony and he, with Radhika, managed to do the

New string in gnome-media

2009-02-12 Thread Bastien Nocera
Heya,

A new string now in gnome-media:
"Waiting for sound system to respond"

It will show up when PulseAudio isn't running, or isn't responding, and
the new gnome-volume-control is launched.

See http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=566835

Lucas, you should update the window title/name too, changing to "Startup
Applications Preferences" (according to other capplets).

Also note the tab label is "Startup programs"...

William, sorry if this could appear a blackmail, but IMHO this plan of
you is very un-polite for all GNOME community, so I think if you will
move gnome-screensaver to git *before* the DVCS decision (if I'm right
by now git is only an option, not the final choice) I'll ask to remove
it from the list of GNOME Desktop modules.

In the past years we have hard worked in order to have *all* *official*
GNOME Desktop & Platform modules stored on the same repository (see for
example mousetweaks or hamster-applet), not only for translators' sake,
but for entire GNOME community.

Do you like git? OK, *by now* it's a *your* choice, not a *community*
choice. Start to develop on a separate, private git tree and frequently
update the official module on svn, like the empathy team is currently
doing.

Respectfully[1] , Luca.

[1] but little shocked for recent "I'm myself and I don't care about
GNOME community rules" events :(

The Compose key will not help you here because it does not have the
full range of Latin characters with macro below (has nine only).

You can use Ctrl+Shift+u as in
1. Type, for example, G
2. Press Ctrl+Shift+u
3. Type 332, then press Spacebar
4. You get G̲

You can also edit your current keyboard layout so that it outputs
0x0331/0x0332.
Currently, only us(olpc) has that character, and is under AltGr+{.

Between 0x0331 and 0x0332, I think it's better for your work to choose
the latter because it is flatter.

with 0x0331 G̱ṈO̱M̱E̱
with 0x0332 G̲N̲O̲M̲E̲

To be able to view these characters, you need to view the text in a
window that has advanced text layout (for example, a GTK+ application
that uses Pango). You should expect that for some characters, the
macron will not be positioned perfectly under the letter.

Regardless of the above, I think that in your case, you should also
consider typing those e-mails as HTML e-mails, and using Underline for
the specific characters. To use 0x030[12] would be more of a hack, or
test-casing the text layout engines of your e-mail recipients.

Thanks for your comments.

We got the 2 approvals from the release team so it would be good to have
the advice of the doc-team as well. :)

Mathias,

I have to disagree with that. GNOME is not an individualistic project
but a group effort. For that reason, GNOME has a release process and the
modules part of GNOME "core" (the various suites) have to follow the
release process.

Switching VCS like that, on the fly, is a disruption in this process.
Even more when done in the middle of a release cycle.

I see that Jon addressed the issue, but I just wanted emphasis how wrong
your message was.
And yes I'm eager to see GNOME move to git.

Hub, who is not part of the release team.

[URGENT] wrong gconf key description in gnome-session

2009-02-12 Thread Luca Ferretti
In gnome-session schema file there is a string that we forgot to fix:

List of components that are required as part of the session.
(Each element names a key under
"/desktop/gnome/session/required-components".) The Session
Preferences will not normally allow users to remove a required
component from the session, and the session manager will
automatically add the required components back to the session if
they do get removed.

The actual key name is required_components: there is a FIXME comment
from 2.24 claiming this should be fixed while not in string freeze.

OK to commit attached patch ASAP?

PS also note that /schemas/apps/gnome-session/options/logout_option
GConf key is no longer used (it refers to old, all-in-one logout
dialog). Should we add a "deprecated" label in short description and
change the long to "This key is no longer used by gnome-session" or
could we simply remove it from schema.in file?

Two more strings to change:

/schemas/apps/gnome-session/options/auto_save_session

If enabled, gnome-session will save the session automatically.
Otherwise, the logout dialog will have an option to save the
session.

(current status: no more save option in logout dialog)

/schemas/desktop/gnome/session/default_session

List of applications that are part of the default session.

(from file schema.in itself: "FIXME when not string frozen: mention that
required components are added to the default session")

Sounds fine to me to change the wrong key name. But is the description
factually true ? The last time I checked, gnome-session would not
bring
nautilus back when I killed it, until I added the autorestart key to
the nautilus desktop file.

I don't see any reason to keep the schema around if gnome-session is
no longer using it. Why would you ?

  * nautilus - X-GNOME-AutoRestart=true X-GNOME-Provides=filemanager
- is restarted
  * gnome-panel - no AutoRestart, no Provides - is restarted
  * metacity - X-GNOME-Provides=windowmanager - is not restated

hmmm... we have a problem...

Dunno, here is a policy about no longer used gconf keys? Nautilus still
provides its own old and deprecated key for icon theme, but maybe there
is some kind of versioning in nautilus gconf keys.

If remove the gnome-session key is hurtless, I'm for remove it

Reading up on this heated thread, here's my take on it.

There are some non-arguable fundamental facts about any free software
development. One of the most fundamental facts is this:
  1) The maintainer of a project/module may do whatever he likes with it.

However, there have always been some fundamental requirements we (the
GNOME Translation Project) have required from modules officially
included in GNOME. I don't know if they have been encarved into stone
or sent out into space yet, but anyone who has ever followed GNOME
release engineering and new module discussions closely, should be
familiar with them. Some of the requirements include:

  2) Translators with an account should have access to all modules
officially part of GNOME.
  3) All modules officially part of GNOME should be kept in *the same*
GNOME repository.

That last one is equally important. GNOME translators translate
several hundreds of modules, and many translators need quick access to
many, many of those modules on a daily basis in order to update
translations. Using and remembering different workflows for each and
every one of the modules would be a nightmare, so we require the
workflow be the same for each module (with some extremely few
exceptions for directory layout in some exceptional modules).

But the "one repository" requirement has always been the same. The
"one repository to rule them all" used to be cvs.gnome.org, now it is
svn.gnome.org, and maybe in the not too distant future it will be
git.gnome.org. However, the change to a git.gnome.org would require a
Release Team decision on which DVCS GNOME should use, and a planned
cutover date for the *whole* repository.

The planned cutover date is because we would need to communicate the
change, and carefully update all scripts and documentation, in time
for the cutover date. *All* modules would need to be migrated at the
same date, otherwise we have a script/documentation nightmare. Of
course most of this situation is the same for the GNOME Documentation
Project.

So until the Release Team has decided on a DVCS for *all* of GNOME,
and has announced a planned cutover date, and the cutover has
happened, *no* core GNOME module should be removed from, or closed for
commits, on svn.gnome.org. If a module maintainer wants to use a
different repo in the mean time, fine, but then a requirement would be
that they automatically sync *all* the changes in the module both back
and forward with svn.gnome.org in the mean time. Unless you can
reliably do all that synchronization automatically, you are *not*
allowed to move.


I have all the respect for module maintainers and their freedom to do
whatever they like with their module. But at the same time, being
"part of GNOME" is a stamp of approval of which there follows some
real hard requirements, both in terms of software but also in release
engineering and version control.

So, if some core GNOME module "jumps the gun" and switches to a
repository other than svn.gnome.org before the date of the Release
Team mandated big project-wide repository cutover for all of GNOME, I
would formally request of the Release Team to immediately *remove*
that module/project from the list of software included in GNOME.
Period.

This is of course all speaking with my formal "GNOME Translation
Project Spokesperson" hat on.

It's poorly-worded. It's supposed to mean "even if you remove nautilus
from your session, gnome-session will start it next time you log in anyway".

I think the most important thing to learn from these "events" is that
when you delay a community-based decision so long, people start making
decision on their own and moving forward. It is completely
understandable that some maintainers may get tired of waiting for a
decision from the community and simply decide what they think it's best
for their own projects, even if this may eventually hurt other parts of
the process.

If we as a community can't agree on something like this and move
forward, we will be facing the risk of fragmentation over and over
again. Let's not allow this to happen and let's make a decision soon.

This one should stay as I'm working on restoring the session saving
(at least I should be working on this).

This happens because apps can set their restart style using xsmp (most
likely with GnomeClient api). So, even if you remove the key from
gnome-panel .desktop file, gnome-panel is still doing
gnome_client_set_restart_style. Yes, this is a bit confusing (well,
XSMP per se is quite confusing).

Which key do you want to remove? If it's auto_save_session, you shouldn't.
