GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 641275
Seahorse applet doesn't work with curent gnome-panel
Last modified: 2011-02-10 22:44:04 UTC
gnome-panel has been ported to gtk3 and uses now a versioned directory for applet files. Applet should be ported to gtk3, and link to libpanel-applet4. See this commit: http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-applets/commit/?id=b8588880f679b6166f6795877c9f0daefc95b1cc for the versioned directory change needed.
Is that really all one has to do in order to update to libpanel-applet4?
Yes, libpanel-applet-4 is just libpanel-applet-3 ported to gtk3. It's even easier now that there's a varaible with the full path in the pkg-config file, I alñready updated the wiki page, see: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/AppletsDbusMigration Let me know if you need help.
I've pushed a patch which I hope makes this work. Sadly I haven't been able to get a full GTK+3.0 (gnome-panel based) desktop going. So I haven't tested it completely. I removed some of the stuff watching for changing backgrounds and styles. Is that still necessary? Let me know if it needs additional changes.
