Description Danielle Madeley 2006-08-19 05:50:18 UTC 
This is specifically in Entriac mode, the last searched for text remains in the entry, allowing someone who is shoulder surfing to find out what the last action I carried out was. Deskbar 2.14 used to clear the text.

Clearing the text is backwards to the way the quicksearch bar in Firefox works (for example), so perhaps not a useful default, perhaps this could be a (hidden) option.

Adds GConf key to enable/disable this feature

This patch works with currently all UIs. Nevertheless, it might not work with custom UIs because it makes use of the cuemiac attribute.

Sebastian: I see a proble with the patch, indeed the value stored in GCONF is never read from gconf, and also it should react to changes in that key in gconf and update the boolean so it zorks for next query.
Besides, could you make it  non cueiac specific, for exaple by adding a new function to DeskbarUI like clear_text ?
Thanks !

Comment 5 Sebastian Pölsterl 2006-08-27 11:23:53 UTC 
A minor bug appeared:

There's an attribute called self.clear_entry and a method
Therefore, one of them must be renamed.

Sebastian: I opened bug #354014 about this. It has a patch, but we have to break freeze, or wait for 2.16.1...
