Hi, Ross.

That's fine to me. Please commit.
Comment 3 Ross Burton 2007-11-30 11:27:45 UTC 
Committed.

libgnome usage was added again in this commit:
http://git.gnome.org/cgit/vino/commit/?id=e17ca5a59cc93ba6a69eba131a7271742b17339f

Looks like it is only used for session management. Perhaps the smclient in libegg can be used instead?

Comment 5 Jonh Wendell 2009-05-04 11:12:59 UTC 
I prefer to wait until a final solution comes out. I've heard that session management will land in gtk+.

Both current solutions (libgnomeui and libegg) are not ideal.
Comment 6 André Klapper 2009-05-05 15:18:06 UTC 
Current situation is that we have EggSmClient. I don't know of recent plans to move this into gtk+, that's why most stuff I know of is ported to libegg now. :-/
Can you ask on d-d-l/gtk+ list whether there are plans?
Comment 7 Jonh Wendell 2009-05-05 16:58:28 UTC 
André, I did, in December: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2008-December/msg00138.html

Still no response so far...
Comment 8 Thomas Andersen 2009-05-05 18:05:22 UTC 
From http://live.gnome.org/SessionManagement:
"/NewGnomeSession LucasRocha is currently hacking on this, for GNOME 2.24 (See Todo)"

The Todo notes:
"Consolidate session client API GTK+ (See bug #79285)"

Bug #79285 is mostly about getting EggSMClient into GTK or not. IMO this looks to be going nowhere fast.

While EggSMClient may not the perfect solution it will help us get rid of libgnome completely and getting ready for GNOME 3.
Comment 9 André Klapper 2009-06-19 21:45:23 UTC 
Jonh, please get this in. libegg is not perfect, but currently the way to go.
Comment 10 Jonh Wendell 2009-06-20 00:45:42 UTC 
Andre, ok, you win. just did it tonight because you're a good goalkeeper. that's a pity I won't attend GUADEC this year, I'd like to have you in my team :)

Comment 11 André Klapper 2009-06-20 13:04:15 UTC 
Oh, no GUADEC? Pity. :-(
No idea if there will be another FreeFA tournament. Would be great if so though I'm a bit out of training since I've moved.

Thanks for getting this (and the GtkBuilder patch) in. Vino looks great now: http://www.gnome.org/~fpeters/299.html
