[Evolution-hackers] alarm-notify ...

[Michael Meeks <michael meeks novell com>]

Hi guys,

	I was reading calendar/gui/alarm-dialog/alarm-notify.c - trying (of
course) to work out why alarm delivery is apparently not working at all.

	I just committed some code enabling dbus threading - without which you
can quite happily use dbus from multiple threads, only it will crash and
burn very horribly. That seemed to fix a nasty race I was getting
whereby no alarms showed up at all.

	It might also help to undo:

static void
message_push (Message *msg)
{
	/* This used be pushed through the thread pool. This fix is made to work-around
	the crashers in dbus due to threading. The threading is not completely removed as
	its better to have alarm daemon running in a thread rather than blocking main thread.
	 This is the reason the creation of thread pool is commented out */
	msg->func (msg);
}

	This sort of thing.

	I could also not see where the "Repeat" functionality (customize an
alarm, and select "Repeat the alarm" is setup - surely not on the e-d-s
side ? - do we still have it ?

	It was also a surprise to me to see the default setting for "create an
alarm 15 mins before each appointment" to be off - is that a
feature ? :-) it was unexpected.

	Finally - it seems some migration code went awry somewhere here, and
busted the "use systray" setting for the alarm daemon:

	HTH,

		Michael.
