hmm.... so what shall we do for this ?

This kind of play/pause combo seems to work well in Totem and Banshee, regardless of what the gconf-key is set to. How does that code differ?

grrr... just installed latest gtk+ on my system... and there's indeed a lot of screwups.

This is our code for the play/pause button. Any idea on what we're doing wrong is more than welcome.

class PlayPauseButton(gtk.Button, Loggable):
    """ Double state gtk.Button which displays play/pause """

    __gsignals__ = {
        "play" : ( gobject.SIGNAL_RUN_LAST,
                   gobject.TYPE_NONE,
                   (gobject.TYPE_BOOLEAN, ))
        }

    def __init__(self):
        gtk.Button.__init__(self, label="")
        Loggable.__init__(self)
        self.playing = True
        self.setPlay()
        self.connect('clicked', self._clickedCb)

    def set_sensitive(self, value):
        gtk.Button.set_sensitive(self, value)

    def _clickedCb(self, unused):
        self.emit("play", self.playing)

    def setPlay(self):
        """ display the play image """
        self.log("setPlay")
        if self.playing:
            self.set_image(gtk.image_new_from_stock(gtk.STOCK_MEDIA_PLAY, gtk.ICON_SIZE_BUTTON))
            self.playing = False

    def setPause(self):
        self.log("setPause")
        """ display the pause image """
        if not self.playing:
            self.set_image(gtk.image_new_from_stock(gtk.STOCK_MEDIA_PAUSE, gtk.ICON_SIZE_BUTTON))
            self.playing = True

    Force the play button to be visible, regardless of the gtk-button-images set
ting.
