Application.activate not emitted when opening files.

[Victor Aurélio Santos]

A Application with flags = GLib.ApplicationFlags.HANDLES_OPEN when
launched without any files it does the normal start, and `activate`
signal is emitted, but when opening files the `activate` signal didn't
gets emitted ? even when it's the first instance of application.

Is this the default behavior ? or am i doing something wrong?
If it's the default behavior, how and where should i do application's
basic things like creating windows, setting-up basic things etc...

Ok, thanks for the information.

Monospace environments like terminals traditionally display æ, œ, … as
a single character-cell: it isn't typographically correct, but neither
is having m the same width as i, and we tolerate that in monospace.

The one use I'm aware of for characters that occupy more than one cell
in monospace is that CJK writing systems have the concept of "fullwidth"
character forms. which take up 2 adjacent cells.


For instance, if you read this mail in monospace, these lines should
line up exactly, even though in a proportional font they'd be very
different lengths:

|Ｆｕｌｌｗｉｄｔｈ|
|halfwidthhalfwidth|
|朅—∴mw朅—∴mw朅—|
|ll|

(It works as described in gnome-terminal, xterm and gvim, but not in
gedit, where the full-width letters are about 1.5 character cells.)
