Re: [gnome-flashback] Proponsal for exporting GTK widgets over DBus

[Alberts Muktupāvels <alberts muktupavels gmail com>]

Hi,

I don't think that it will work...

Can you show example with creating widget (for example simple label with some text) in server and add that widget in client window? This would be very simple example.

Then create more advanced widget, for example, overriding draw function and adding/drawing stripes to background in server widget and add it to client window.

Hi again:

Maybe the best way for out-process applets would be to export the
widgets over DBus, and letting the panel to paint them. This also would
allow to migrate to Wayland without the problem of widget embedding
(which I'm not sure if it is available under Wayland).

Some time ago I did some experiments about that, and found that, thanks
to GObject Introspection, it is extremely easy to export GTK widgets
over DBus. In fact, I made a proof-of-concept, which I uploaded to my
GIT repository:
