Description Wade Berrier 2007-12-20 19:53:58 UTC 
It would be nice to have unlimited scrollback, like konsole does.

Vte now supports this.  Needs g-t UI.

We were talking about it the other day and people suggested that instead of a checkbox, we can change the spin button to have a unlimited option?  Something like this.  Here's what dcbw said:

(01:58:22 PM) dcbw: behdad: no, http://git.gnome.org/cgit/network-manager-applet/tree/src/connection-editor/page-wired.c
(01:58:42 PM) dcbw: behdad: if you wanted an example
(01:59:01 PM) dcbw: 	g_signal_connect (priv->mtu, "output", 	                  G_CALLBACK (ce_spin_output_with_default), 	                  GINT_TO_POINTER (mtu_def)); 
(01:59:44 PM) dcbw: behdad: which uses the ce_spin_output_with_default() function from this file: http://git.gnome.org/cgit/network-manager-applet/tree/src/connection-editor/ce-page.c
(02:00:56 PM) dcbw: behdad: basically, whenever the value changes on the spinbox you'll get 'output' and you can then stuff whatever value you'd like into the spinbutton's GtkEntry
