patch against gnomeapplet/applet.override, to import bonobo.ui.Component (392 bytes, patch)
2009-01-30 13:49 UTC, Kjell Braden 		none Details | Review

Description Kjell Braden 2009-01-30 13:46:14 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
gnomeapplet.Applet.get_popup_component does not return a useful object - none of the BonoboUIComponent methods are available.

Steps to reproduce:
1. import gnomeapplet
2. dir(gnomeapplet.Applet.get_popup_component())



Actual results:
dir() only shows the gobject attributes

Expected results:
dir() to show the bonobo.ui.Component attributes

Does this happen every time?
yes

Other information:
The attached patch fixes the issue for me. Note that this could be necessary for other objects than the bonobo.ui.Component.

The bug exists, but the patch could be simplified.  All you need to do is import the module bonobo.ui, nothing more.  And you can even do it in your python program, so you don't have to wait for the patch to be deployed :-)

Uhoh, I thought I tried that, but you are right, that works around it for me. Not sure whether the issue still stands then.
Comment 4 Gustavo Carneiro 2009-01-30 19:18:48 UTC 
Yeah, I think it's an issue, things should "just work", and it's easy to fix.
