Description Martin Pitt 2012-03-12 18:04:08 UTC 
I noticed that it's currently impossible to only get debug
messages for one plugin, as g-s-d does

        if (debug)
                 g_setenv ("G_MESSAGES_DEBUG", "all", TRUE);

So right now you can just choose between "no debug messages" and "all debug messages". It would be handy if you could do

  G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=mouse-plugin gnome-settings-daemon/gnome-settings-daemon --debug

Comment 2 Ray Strode [halfline] 2012-03-13 00:09:40 UTC 
couldn't you just change the overwrite parameter of g_setenv to be FALSE instead of adding the check?
Comment 3 Ray Strode [halfline] 2012-03-13 00:10:07 UTC 
oh nevermind me, i didn't see that this bug is already closed FIXED
Comment 4 Martin Pitt 2012-03-13 06:09:18 UTC 
@Ray: indeed, that'd be more elegant. I'm happy to fix that if Bastien is OK with that.
Comment 5 Bastien Nocera 2012-03-13 11:06:33 UTC 
Either way. Feel free to commit that change if you feel it is necessary.
Comment 6 Martin Pitt 2012-03-13 11:10:41 UTC 
Done.
