Recurrence in seconds, in python-alarm
Hey all, I've been wracking my brains the last few days trying to figure out how to use alarm to set up recurrence in seconds, with an infinite amount of recurrences. My ideal result is being able to exec command every X seconds (where X is a large number of seconds), indefinitely. Does anybody have any idea of how one would do this in python-alarm? Thanks!

Left high-and-dry by Nokia/Ovi store :(
I'm cross posting this from the TMO forums after suggestion, apologies to anyone who has already read what I have to say. -- Having faithfully paid the 50 euros to register with Ovi Publishers several days ago, I have been happily working on my upcoming application, preparing for the release of the new N900 store which I was assured is in the last stages of finalization. I have spent many years in Canada operating doing very legitimate and legal development as a sole proprietor, as long as one pays taxes, there is no necessity to incorporate as a company, as this is recognized as an important element of trade (not everyone who does business can or will incorporate). Today my Nokia Store / Ovi Publisher account was disabled and locked out, because I am not a corporation. Nokia does not recognize individuals or sole proprietorship as valid business entities, and as such only corporations may publish through the Ovi store. Needless to say, as a legitimate businessman, I feel incredibly let down by Nokia, and the Ovi policies. These policies are going to prevent 95% of application developers from publishing through nokia, leaving only the choice of giving our work away for free (which is fine if you're into that), or trying to establish an independent distribution channel which is going to be incredibly difficult. Nokia should ensure that they either recognise sole proprietorships as legitimate business entities, or make it very clear - and i mean 72px font clear, that they do not allow individuals to publish through the store. I moved over from Apple because of their policies and increasingly corporation-centric publishing rules. I'm really sad to say that it looks like I made a mistake, and without a distribution channel, Nokia has left me, and many other future application developers high and dry. I know I'm feeling emotional, but right now I just feel like forgetting I ever heard about the N900.

Re: Problems Panning/Clicking with GtkIconView
The solution to this, thanks to zaheerm on talk.maemo.org -
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=34369:
1st change your event connection to be item-activated not selection-changed
2nd no need to set the selection mode
3rd don't add the grid with add_with_viewport, instead use add
Cheers!

Hi everyone,
I am having a hell of a time trying to get an GtkIconView working correctly
with the pannable area widget. Using hildon.GtkIconView I am able to pan by
using the scrollwheel on my mouse, but if i click anywhere to start panning,
it immediately activates whatever was clicked on. gtk.IconView does pretty
much exactly the same thing. Removing the connect function obviously allows
you to pan freely.
Code is as follows (I've left in various settings etc for completeness'
sake):
pan_area = hildon.PannableArea()
model = gtk.ListStore(str, gtk.gdk.Pixbuf)
for item in xmlf:
thumbnail_data = gtk.gdk.pixbuf_new_from_file(
cache_path_thumbs + item[filename])
model.append([str(item['name']), thumbnail_data])
grid = hildon.GtkIconView(gtk.HILDON_UI_MODE_NORMAL, model)
grid.set_selection_mode(gtk.SELECTION_SINGLE)
grid.set_pixbuf_column(1)
grid.set_columns(4)
grid.set_item_width(190)
grid.set_spacing(thumbnail_spacing)
grid.connect('selection-changed', self.thumbnailSelect, model, window)
pan_area.add_with_viewport(grid)
Points of note: I'm using the Vmware SDK. I know that has a few bugs so
maybe this is one of them. As mentioned, the scrollwheel does pan the area,
so pannable area is working as intended.
Does anyone have any ideas? this is a pretty critical issue and I don't know
of anyone else who's managed to get this working.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!

Preferred way to set timed events in fremantle?
Hi all, So I'm wondering what the preferred way to set up a timed event (like a cronjob) in fremantle is? I've seen various mentions of alarm and cron, etc, but I'm not sure what to use. I'd like to be able to modify these events too, such as changing the time period in which they happen. What would be the best and easiest, and most power efficient way of doing this? thanks all, Jonathan ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
Re: Problems Panning/Clicking with GtkIconView
Hi Daniel,
I'm using the PreFinal from http://maemovmware.garage.maemo.org/ -
Does that sound like it would be the cause of my problems?
Cheers

Hi Jonathan,
which VMWare image and SDK are you using? This was an issue in the Beta SDK
and with the Final SDK it should work.
Cheers Daniel

Changing Freemantle Desktop Backgrounds
First post here, so greetings, etc. :) As some of you may know, I'm currently developing a wallpaper management application (python) that ties into n900wallpapers.com. However, the big roadblock I've come up across so far is actually changing the user's desktop background. The only information I can find on this is a bug report from 2008 ( https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3030) and some C code, also from 2008 for hildon 2.0 ( http://timeless.justdave.net/mxr-test/os2008/source/hildon-desktop-2.0.6/background-manager/background-manager.c ). Can anybody point me in the right direction? Thanks! ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
