Hi people.

I need to make an applet (keyboard indicator) obrigatory to all users of my
computer. I need that they can't remove it.

But I need that any other operations with panels and the other applets can
be done.

I try to set it in gconf.xml.mandatory but when I did this, all panels and
applets became mandatory. How can I make this with just this applet.

Anybody can help me ???

Thanks a lot,

I saw some old (2003) messages about gconf now being able
to use d-bus, but looking in the current 2.13.5 source, I see
no reference to d-bus at all.  So what happened?  Was it here
then gone, is it here now and I just don't see where or...

If GConf were to use d-bus, does that mean it would not need to
use ORBit, that would be nice.

The dbus port is used in maemo (http://www.maemo.org), and lives at
http://developer.imendio.com/wiki/GConf_D-BUS. It's a "minimal set of
changes" port, so it doesn't take full advantage of dbus. It will not
replace the upstream version as is, but there are plans for future
improvements to gconf, including using dbus natively here:

Hi everyone,

I have a problem that I haven't found the answer to, despite looking for 
source codes.

I am using gconf 2.6, and I would like to store a list of integers into the 
gconf (to keep track of bookmarks).

I use following kind of code (actually separated into different functions, but 
here for clarity shortened, removed error checks etc):

GConfValue *conf_value;
gconf_value = gconf_client_get_without_default(gconf_client, 
KEY_BOOKMARKS_LIST, NULL);
GSList *list = gconf_value_get_list(gconf_value);
g_slist_foreach(list, add_bookmark_to_list, NULL);

void add_bookmark_to_list(gpointer list_data, gpointer user_data)
{
	gint bookmark_id;
	gint *tmp = list_data;
	bookmark_id = *tmp; /***/
}

/***/: If I understand correctly, this should return the numeric value that 
the list item holds. But this always has the value 2. If I put *(tmp + 1) 
here, it works correctly, but I have no idea why.

Now, the same problem occurs when saving the list. But I have no idea in what 
format the numbers should be appended to list. I am using following:

[...]
g_slist_append(list_copy, GINT_TO_POINTER(bookmark_id))
gconf_client_set_list(gconf_client, KEY_BOOKMARKS_LIST, GCONF_VALUE_INT,
	list_copy, NULL);
g_slist_free(list_copy);
[...]

This, however, saves just random data to the gconf.

This all hints that there is some container, for example a struct, used 
internally in GConf, and those are stored to GSList, but I haven't found any 
clarification to this by searching the source codes.

Could someone tell how can I fix this problem?

Thanks in advance,
Jukka Alasalmi

The problem is that the GSList which is manipulated by GConf when 
dealing with value lists is a GSList of GConfValue objects (which all 
are expected to have the same GConfValueType), and not a GSList of 
integers, or of pointers to integers (your code above is inconsistent, 
the callback function assumes the GSList contains pointers to bookmark 
ids, while your saving function passes the integer off as a pointer 
directly).

So you need to interpret list_data as GConfValue, and then do a 
gconf_value_get_int on the result, while when saving you need to build 
GConfValue objects with your integers in it, and append these GConfValue 
objects to the GSList you pass to set_list.

The reason your callback code "works" when using *(tmp + 1) is that 
list_data is a GConfValue *, meaning its first word is the 
GConfValueType (the 2 you're consistently getting) and the rest of the 
memory is the union containing the actual value (in your case the 
integer) so if you go over the type you end up pointing to your int.

GConf today (please correct me if I misunderstand this) is setup
to have a fixed set of mandatory and read-only (default) key/values
that are setup and maintained external to GConf.   A well behaved
GConf client, no matter how privileged, can not alter a mandatory
key nor create new ones, nor do so for the read-only default set.
A client can only create new keys (not in the mandatory set) or create
new current values for read-only keys (i.e. not using the default  
value).
Adding new mandatory keys, or changing the value of a mandatory or
default key must be done off-line.  Any thoughts on changing this
to allow a privileged client to use the GConf calls to update a key/ 
value
that is mandatory or read-only to unprivileged (normal) users/apps?

Hi,

Thank you very much. This is something that I thought it might be, but I was
unable to find it in the documentation of GConf (it might be there, though, but
I may have missed it).

I'll try that out as soon as I have the time for it (I have been moving now so
everything is still a bit hassle).

Jukka

I'm wondering how I achieve multiple applications from several different

Thanks!

Hi people.

I need to make an applet (keyboard indicator) obrigatory to all users of my
computer. I need that they can't remove it.

But I need that any other operations with panels and the other applets can
be done.

I try to set it in gconf.xml.mandatory but when I did this, all panels and
applets became mandatory. How can I make this with just this applet.

Anybody can help me ???

Thanks a lot,

I saw some old (2003) messages about gconf now being able
to use d-bus, but looking in the current 2.13.5 source, I see
no reference to d-bus at all.  So what happened?  Was it here
then gone, is it here now and I just don't see where or...

If GConf were to use d-bus, does that mean it would not need to
use ORBit, that would be nice.

The dbus port is used in maemo (http://www.maemo.org), and lives at
http://developer.imendio.com/wiki/GConf_D-BUS. It's a "minimal set of
changes" port, so it doesn't take full advantage of dbus. It will not
replace the upstream version as is, but there are plans for future
improvements to gconf, including using dbus natively here:

Hi everyone,

I have a problem that I haven't found the answer to, despite looking for 
source codes.

I am using gconf 2.6, and I would like to store a list of integers into the 
gconf (to keep track of bookmarks).

I use following kind of code (actually separated into different functions, but 
here for clarity shortened, removed error checks etc):

GConfValue *conf_value;
gconf_value = gconf_client_get_without_default(gconf_client, 
KEY_BOOKMARKS_LIST, NULL);
GSList *list = gconf_value_get_list(gconf_value);
g_slist_foreach(list, add_bookmark_to_list, NULL);

void add_bookmark_to_list(gpointer list_data, gpointer user_data)
{
	gint bookmark_id;
	gint *tmp = list_data;
	bookmark_id = *tmp; /***/
}

/***/: If I understand correctly, this should return the numeric value that 
the list item holds. But this always has the value 2. If I put *(tmp + 1) 
here, it works correctly, but I have no idea why.

Now, the same problem occurs when saving the list. But I have no idea in what 
format the numbers should be appended to list. I am using following:

[...]
g_slist_append(list_copy, GINT_TO_POINTER(bookmark_id))
gconf_client_set_list(gconf_client, KEY_BOOKMARKS_LIST, GCONF_VALUE_INT,
	list_copy, NULL);
g_slist_free(list_copy);
[...]

This, however, saves just random data to the gconf.

This all hints that there is some container, for example a struct, used 
internally in GConf, and those are stored to GSList, but I haven't found any 
clarification to this by searching the source codes.

Could someone tell how can I fix this problem?

Thanks in advance,
Jukka Alasalmi

The problem is that the GSList which is manipulated by GConf when 
dealing with value lists is a GSList of GConfValue objects (which all 
are expected to have the same GConfValueType), and not a GSList of 
integers, or of pointers to integers (your code above is inconsistent, 
the callback function assumes the GSList contains pointers to bookmark 
ids, while your saving function passes the integer off as a pointer 
directly).

So you need to interpret list_data as GConfValue, and then do a 
gconf_value_get_int on the result, while when saving you need to build 
GConfValue objects with your integers in it, and append these GConfValue 
objects to the GSList you pass to set_list.

The reason your callback code "works" when using *(tmp + 1) is that 
list_data is a GConfValue *, meaning its first word is the 
GConfValueType (the 2 you're consistently getting) and the rest of the 
memory is the union containing the actual value (in your case the

GConf today (please correct me if I misunderstand this) is setup
to have a fixed set of mandatory and read-only (default) key/values
that are setup and maintained external to GConf.   A well behaved
GConf client, no matter how privileged, can not alter a mandatory
key nor create new ones, nor do so for the read-only default set.
A client can only create new keys (not in the mandatory set) or create
new current values for read-only keys (i.e. not using the default  
value).
Adding new mandatory keys, or changing the value of a mandatory or
default key must be done off-line.  Any thoughts on changing this
to allow a privileged client to use the GConf calls to update a key/ 
value
that is mandatory or read-only to unprivileged (normal) users/apps?

Hi,

Thank you very much. This is something that I thought it might be, but I was
unable to find it in the documentation of GConf (it might be there, though, but
I may have missed it).

I'll try that out as soon as I have the time for it (I have been moving now so
everything is still a bit hassle).

Jukka

Hi people.

I need to make an applet (keyboard indicator) obrigatory to all users of my
computer. I need that they can't remove it.

But I need that any other operations with panels and the other applets can
be done.

I try to set it in gconf.xml.mandatory but when I did this, all panels and
applets became mandatory. How can I make this with just this applet.

Anybody can help me ???

Thanks a lot,

I saw some old (2003) messages about gconf now being able
to use d-bus, but looking in the current 2.13.5 source, I see
no reference to d-bus at all.  So what happened?  Was it here
then gone, is it here now and I just don't see where or...

If GConf were to use d-bus, does that mean it would not need to
use ORBit, that would be nice.

The dbus port is used in maemo (http://www.maemo.org), and lives at
http://developer.imendio.com/wiki/GConf_D-BUS. It's a "minimal set of
changes" port, so it doesn't take full advantage of dbus. It will not
replace the upstream version as is, but there are plans for future
improvements to gconf, including using dbus natively here:

Hi everyone,

I have a problem that I haven't found the answer to, despite looking for 
source codes.

I am using gconf 2.6, and I would like to store a list of integers into the 
gconf (to keep track of bookmarks).

I use following kind of code (actually separated into different functions, but 
here for clarity shortened, removed error checks etc):

GConfValue *conf_value;
gconf_value = gconf_client_get_without_default(gconf_client, 
KEY_BOOKMARKS_LIST, NULL);
GSList *list = gconf_value_get_list(gconf_value);
g_slist_foreach(list, add_bookmark_to_list, NULL);

void add_bookmark_to_list(gpointer list_data, gpointer user_data)
{
	gint bookmark_id;
	gint *tmp = list_data;
	bookmark_id = *tmp; /***/
}

/***/: If I understand correctly, this should return the numeric value that 
the list item holds. But this always has the value 2. If I put *(tmp + 1) 
here, it works correctly, but I have no idea why.

Now, the same problem occurs when saving the list. But I have no idea in what 
format the numbers should be appended to list. I am using following:

[...]
g_slist_append(list_copy, GINT_TO_POINTER(bookmark_id))
gconf_client_set_list(gconf_client, KEY_BOOKMARKS_LIST, GCONF_VALUE_INT,
	list_copy, NULL);
g_slist_free(list_copy);
[...]

This, however, saves just random data to the gconf.

This all hints that there is some container, for example a struct, used 
internally in GConf, and those are stored to GSList, but I haven't found any 
clarification to this by searching the source codes.

Could someone tell how can I fix this problem?

Thanks in advance,
Jukka Alasalmi

The problem is that the GSList which is manipulated by GConf when 
dealing with value lists is a GSList of GConfValue objects (which all 
are expected to have the same GConfValueType), and not a GSList of 
integers, or of pointers to integers (your code above is inconsistent, 
the callback function assumes the GSList contains pointers to bookmark 
ids, while your saving function passes the integer off as a pointer 
directly).

So you need to interpret list_data as GConfValue, and then do a 
gconf_value_get_int on the result, while when saving you need to build 
GConfValue objects with your integers in it, and append these GConfValue 
objects to the GSList you pass to set_list.

The reason your callback code "works" when using *(tmp + 1) is that 
list_data is a GConfValue *, meaning its first word is the 
GConfValueType (the 2 you're consistently getting) and the rest of the 
memory is the union containing the actual value (in your case the 
integer) so if you go over the type you end up pointing to your int.

GConf today (please correct me if I misunderstand this) is setup
to have a fixed set of mandatory and read-only (default) key/values
that are setup and maintained external to GConf.   A well behaved
GConf client, no matter how privileged, can not alter a mandatory
key nor create new ones, nor do so for the read-only default set.
A client can only create new keys (not in the mandatory set) or create
new current values for read-only keys (i.e. not using the default  
value).
Adding new mandatory keys, or changing the value of a mandatory or
default key must be done off-line.  Any thoughts on changing this
to allow a privileged client to use the GConf calls to update a key/ 
value
that is mandatory or read-only to unprivileged (normal) users/apps?

Hi,

Thank you very much. This is something that I thought it might be, but I was
unable to find it in the documentation of GConf (it might be there, though, but
I may have missed it).

I'll try that out as soon as I have the time for it (I have been moving now so
everything is still a bit hassle).

Jukka

I'm wondering how I achieve multiple applications from several different
servers coming to thin client x-desktops to share the same gconfd
server.  Is there a howto on this anywhere?

Thanks!
