Notes to developers (or me if I can get around to it...):
in src/gpm-prefs-core.c
function "gpm_prefs_setup_action_combo"
has the order:
shutdown
suspend
hibernate
blank
ask
nothing
but the enumeration is:
typedef enum {
GPM_ACTION_POLICY_BLANK,
GPM_ACTION_POLICY_SUSPEND,
GPM_ACTION_POLICY_SHUTDOWN,
GPM_ACTION_POLICY_HIBERNATE,
GPM_ACTION_POLICY_INTERACTIVE,
GPM_ACTION_POLICY_NOTHING
} GpmActionPolicy;
this causes a problem in:
gpm_prefs_action_combo_changed_cb (GtkWidget *widget, GpmPrefs *prefs)
because:
actions = (const GpmActionPolicy *) g_object_get_data (G_OBJECT
(widget), "actions");
active = gtk_combo_box_get_active (GTK_COMBO_BOX (widget));
policy = actions[active];
policy calls the "active" value of the "actions" array, which does not
correspond to the checkbox order!
Fix: re-enumerate the actions order or re-write the "append" to
checkbox list to be the correct order
bug possibly originated here:
http://git.gnome.org/cgit/gnome-power-manager/commit/?id=8bf6879f00e17d7feb39cecb820ad0ad33e2e827
I have two other bugs I'm working on before I can get a change for
this one, if someone wants to take a stab at it please go ahead - I
won't be able to get to this for maybe 3 weeks (i'll be away).
