Hello Lumir
For one of my projects I need to have a standard GNOME keyboard
indicator applet loaded automatically after Ubuntu installation process
(for the standard user). User can't do this manually, because he will
have a limited access to the configuration options (limited to zero
:-)). I am looking how to do this. Is there any chance to put the applet
to the panel from the command line (gconftool-2 has some options, but
until now I don't know how exactly do this). Can you kick me at the
right direction, please? :-)
Unfortunately you cannot add applets from the command line. This is
one of the most annoying design issues with the current panel
architecture.
The only solution I can propose would require some hacking - creating
a notification area application which would embed the indicator widget
(available from libgnomekbd). It is a low-to-medium complexity task
for C developer.
Cheers,
Surely this is something that our "User Profile Editor" (sabayon) can
do. You just open a GNOME session in the User Profile Editor, add the
applet to the panel, configure the applet, close the session, and mark
the changes as for every user.
