Description Vincent Untz 2011-02-18 00:58:11 UTC 
FWIW, in the gnome-2-32 branch of the panel, I've removed the panel_applet_shlib_* API from the bonobo compatibility module. The reason for that is that by having in-process bonobo applets, we have a potential clash between symbols of the in-process libpanel-applet-2 and symbols of the in-process libpanel-applet-3.

And I chose to remove the in-process feature for the compatibility module.

It is an API and ABI break, but on the other hand, I know of nobody using this by default, and if people use this, they can trivially switch to the factory-based model.

(And yes, it's ugly to have to do that on a stable branch, but nobody realized this was an issue before today :/)
Comment 2 Akhil Laddha 2011-07-10 02:42:57 UTC 
libpanelappletmm development has been stalled [1]. Maintainers don't have
future development plan so i am closing the bugs as WONTFIX.
