	What will replace bonobo? by Eugene Gorodinsky :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message I'm interested in creating several applets for the gnome panel. The panel uses bonobo controls and the gnome documentation says that bonobo is deprecated. I searched in google, and apparently this was never discussed. So what is going to happen with the gui controls part of bonobo? _______________________________________________ gnome-devel-list mailing list gnome-devel-list@... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-devel-list

DBus can for instance be used for low bandwidth IPC. However, the main usecase of bonobo, which is embedding one application in another (say mine-sweeper in gnumeric, or (slighly more useful) a dia diagram in gnumeric) just is not used all that much. So, the lack of a direct replacement is not a large problem. The few apps that require this can keep using bonobo. I don't know what the current plan for bonobo use in the panel is, but a replacement could probably use a simple wrapper around GtkPlug/GtkSocket if it needs out of process applets. _______________________________________________ gnome-devel-list mailing list gnome-devel-list@... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-devel-list
	Re: What will replace bonobo? by Yu Feng-3 :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Do you have any suggestions on how to remove the bonoboUI dependency in gnome-panel without affecting most panel applets? It is possible to use panel_applet_get_control in an applet to obtain the bonobo control and do fancy stuff, but I don't know if anyone is actually doing so.

I don't think you can do that, so such a change would require breaking the applet API of course. _______________________________________________ gnome-devel-list mailing list gnome-devel-list@... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-devel-list
