panel: provide a consistent way to refer to panel items from lg (3.29 KB, patch)

Description Dan Winship 2011-04-06 13:32:40 UTC 
There is currently no simple way to refer to a status area menu from
within lg; the easiest way to get to it currently is to use the
picker, click the menu, and get the actor's _delegate. This is
annoying when testing, and also annoying when trying to help other
people debug (eg, bug 646902 comment 2).

(The activities button is currently available as "Main.panel.button",
because main.js needs access to it, but I added Main.panel._activities
as well for consistency.)

Rename a few Panel fields and add a _statusArea object pointing to the
status area PanelButton objects. You can now address each item
consistently from lg:

    Main.panel._activities
    Main.panel._appMenu
    Main.panel._dateMenu
    Main.panel._statusArea.a11y
    Main.panel._statusArea.volume ...
    Main.panel._userMenu

This looks fine.
