- Handle lack of GSettings gracefully.
- Still requires sugar-datastore.
- Supports avoiding X11 docks/panels.
- Provides icons for Activity windows.
Try it outside Sugar. Go to an Activity directory and run 'sugar-activity'.
Tested it with Terminal, Finance, Write, Browse, Memorize under XFCE4.
Tested in Gnome under OLPC-OS.
Also works from Sugar Terminal Activity.
Does not affect regular Sugar operation.
This is patch v.2 -
Addresses most concerns:
- Removed commented code, sorry.
- Changed code to use profile.get_nickname and get_color where possible.
Couldn't the launcher just pass this info?
Maybe the launcher could set the activity root as well?
- It is intended to be usable from the command line also.
Should put sugar version in the environment
- It is intended to work even without Sugar Shell installed.
Why don't we always set the icon?
- On XO it might use some memory. I was concerned to degrade
performance.
Also, imports should be at the top of the file?
- Also a concern about performance on XO.
This way it is only loaded in this use case.
Maybe it is insignificant -moved as requested.
It would be nice if the changes to the POT for sugar-toolkit-gtk3
could be incorporated in this pull request, please.
- There were no changes to POT files as part of this patch. Maybe
it is worth translating low level command line tools, not sure.
Suggest packaged activities might also provide .desktop files.
- Intriguing but not sure within scope of this patch. You mean generate
a .desktop file automatically as an option? Sounds nice!
Suggest sugar-activity might also accept path to unpacked bundle.
- Implemented!
Right now is not possible do "from sugar3.datastore import datastore"
outside of GLib loop, because the import try to connect to a DBus signal,
and throw a exception.
That was not a problem in Sugar, because we always have a Glib loop
on all our activities, but is a problem when we want import the classes
to generate docs with pydoc. Many other classes import datastore,
then this is a blocker.
This patch removes the initialization when imported,
will be done when needed.
When writing Python apps that will use asynchronous DBus calls and
signals, python-dbus must be initialised with the appropriate main
loop.
sugar currently does this by importing the datastore module from
sugar-toolkit-gtk3, and the datastore module uses the deprecated
and confusing dbus.glib module (which automatically and non-obviously
sets the default GLib main context as the DBus mainloop).
Eliminate the dbus.glib usage from sugar-toolkit-gtk3 as part
of the effort to make sugar initialised the DBus mainloop in a
more explicit and non-deprecated fashion.
This API is not in use anywhere in the shell and has
been deprecated for quite some time.

Fix some trivial issues missed earlier: various missing imports,

This is only on a best-effort basis; the code will be in a broken state after
this patch and need to be fixed manually.
The purpose of committing the intermediate, non-working output is to make it
reproducible. It's impractical to manually review the changes.
