[E-devel] Desklock triggers crash...

2006-04-12 Thread Ramkumar R
Hi! After returning from a locked desktop, any command executed as an action (keyboard shortcut - exec ) seems to trigger a crash. Can anyone confirm this behaviour? Further, on doing a restart using the crash dialog displayed, any command executed seems to leave zombie processes after the command

[E-devel] Trouble due to sticky windows when using focus_last_focused_per_desktop

2005-12-08 Thread Ramkumar R
Hi! I don't know if this has been already discussed here... a search of the archives failed to reveal anything though. focus_last_focused_per_desktop doesn't seem to work well when sticky windows are present. Trouble is, focus_stack is a global focus stack rather than a per-desk variable, and henc

Re: [E-devel] LC_* are now wrongly cleared by e

> Can you explain why you do not want e to set any environment variables? Atleast it is counter-intuitive to say that the function restores env vars to their original values and then modify an env var. Secondly, LANGUAGE is expressly meant for users, and I doubt if it is a good thing for an app to

[E-devel] straight exec'ing for ecore_exe_run

2005-11-29 Thread Ramkumar R
Hi! Though I got my developer access for E to maintain the ID3 loader module in Imlib2 quite some time back, I've just joined this mailing list. Just observed that ecore_exe_run passes all its calls to 'sh -c'... this can be costly and unnecessary at times. Thought that if we can rule out the pres
