It's important to note that even if you solve the problem of getting the icon to display in the task bar, a bigger problem exists when an attempt is made to run the software on the device itself. Since it isn't a GTK application, there will be no support for GTK input methods. Effectively, this

Here are some notes regarding using input methods that are fairly non-obvious and caused me a good deal of frustration: 1. In order to use the Hildon input method, only the "commit" event is of interest. The Hildon input method doesn't appear to use the preedit_changed event. The handwriting i

I wondered the same thing when I started the VNC viewer port. If you examine the osso-xterm code, you might notice that it doesn't do anything with the GDK_Return key value. You would also see the same when examining various implementations of GTK widgets, such as the text entry. So, how is it w

Hi, Are you sure the osso_initialize() is compiled in when you start the program from the menu? Because if osso_initialize() is not called, DBus kills the program because it was started by the DBus daemon but never registered to the bus (done in osso_initialize). BR, Kimmo On Wed, 2006-01-04 at
