GNOME

Tonight committed a lot of stuff to gnome-applets, gnome-settings-daemon and gnome session. Major things:

  • Now, gnome-control-center is DBUS-enabled. Supports 2 interfaces - one for gnome-session and one for keyboard indication (not used yet, but will be utilized very soon).
  • Major libgswitchit API change - it now follows GNOME naming standards. I've felt uncomfortable for some while, supporting code which have not exactly looked like GNOME code.
  • In libgswitchit, proper (well, nearly) GTK widget is created: GnomeKbdIndicator. Existing gnome indicator applet is already using it. I am planning to add this widget to the gnome screensaver prompt dialog as well..
  • gnome-session is invoking gnome-settings-daemon using DBUS, not bonobo.
This is a big chunk of code, so I nearly expect a series of bugreports in near future.

New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.
