insert-at-cursor signal in GtkTextView
The insert-at-cursor signal in GtkTextView doesn't seem to be emitted. There are a few references to a similar problem with GtkEntry, for which using a signal for the GtkEditable ancestor worked around, but I cannot see any suggestions for GtkTextView. Anybody know what is going on? The key-press-event is working fine, but that leaves you with a lot more work since you have to decide whether a character would be inserted...

printing gtktextview and text layout
Hi, In brasero I recently started to work on a WYSIWYG cover editor. I ran into a problem when I try to print something: the layout of the text is not exactly similar to what is displayed on screen. For example, if I make a line of a that goes from the left side to the right side and if I try to print this line, then in the preview and on the paper I have a shorter line of 'a' that starts at the right place but that ends before the point it should reach. On screen: | full line of x a | On paper: | smaller line of x a | For text editing I use a GtkTextView with WRAP_CHAR set. I allocate its space by using the screen resolution (with gdk_screen_get_resolution ()) multiplied by the width and height (in inch) of a CD cover. For printing, I use a PangoLayout (from gtk_print_context_create_pango_layout ()) with WRAP_CHAR as well. I get the sizes for the borders the same way (gtk_print_context_get_dpi_x * cover_width, ...). These latter border sizes were correct when I checked. Could someone help me with that please?

Preventing Multiple instance of GTK application
Hi, I have written a gtk application on my Linux system. At present I can open or start multiple instances of my application. how can I modify my code such that at a time only one instance of my application is running on my system.

To know if other instance is running, you just have to check if your .lock file exists.

Try to use something like, ssh -X remote.system yourapp, and other, to verify all kind of lock mechanisms. (You will have a problem). I know, and I check whenever it's possible. some things cannot be done, given the current state of things; but it's always possible to improve. I guess that for every project patches are, as always, welcome. but why are you replying to me? shouldn't this go to the list? ciao, Emmanuele. -- Emmanuele Bassi, W: http://www.emmanuelebassi.net B: http://log.emmanuelebassi.net ___ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
