[gtk-osx-users] cut/copy/paste accelerators in GTK widgets (and some other issues)

[Brecht Machiels <brecht__gmane mos6581 org>]

Hello,

I'm trying to adapt Zim (Python + pygtk) [1] to make use of 
gtkosx-application, but I'm running into a number of problems.

The first two are related to building gtk-mac-integration (the 2.0.5 
tar.xz) and are no show-stoppers.
Some background info: I installed gtk+ (using --without-x11) and pygtk 
(from source) using Homebrew. I configured gtk-mac-application with 
--with-gtk=gtk+-2.0.

1) The makefile doesn't build the python bindings, even though 
--enable-python=all is the default. I ended up cd-ing into the 
bindings/python folder and running "make install" manually, which 
worked fine. Am I wrong to expect the Python bindings to build 
automatically?

2) Building bindings/python/gtkmacintegration fails with error messages 
such as:
	gtkmacintegration.override:25:5: error: unknown type name 
'GtkMacMenuGroup'; did you mean 'GtkAccelGroup'?
 I ignored this for now, as I understand gtkmacintegration is 
deprecated anyway.

With gtkosx-application installed, I have managed to move Zim menus to 
the OS X menu bar and About/Preferences/Quit to the application menu 
without much trouble, but there are some problems remaining.

3) I changed all of Zim's keyboard accelerators to use <Primary> 
instead of <ctrl>. This works as expected for all accelerators in the 
main Zim text editor widget. However, in other widgets (such as a 
search box), the Cmd-x/c/v accelerators do not work. Ctrl-x/c/v do, 
however.

I did come across the "modifyng Gtk-2 keybindings" thread on this 
mailing list, where it was recommended to set
        gtk-key-theme-name="Mac"
in ~/.gtkrc-2.0
While this doesn't work with the Homebrew GTK+, adding
	include 
"/usr/local/Cellar/gtk+-quartz/2.24.11/share/themes/Mac/gtk-2.0-key/gtkrc" 

should have the same effect, I think.
Now, the search box in Zim's main window will work with Cmd-x/c/v, but 
text widgets in other windows (dialogs) don't, and they won't react to 
Ctrl-x/c/v anymore either. Is there any way to make this work as 
expected?

4) Finally, Zim's application name in the menu bar is "Python", for 
obvious reasons. Is it possible to change this to Zim somehow? 
Similarly, would it be possible to replace the icon the in dock with 
Zim's icon?

Thanks,
Brecht
