Summary: port imsettings-xfce to new xfconf backend
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=478669
Summary: port imsettings-xfce to new xfconf backend Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: medium Priority: low Component: imsettings AssignedTo: tagoh@redhat.com ReportedBy: kevin@tummy.com QAContact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: tagoh@redhat.com, fedora-i18n-bugs@redhat.com Estimated Hours: 0.0 Classification: Fedora
The upcoming Xfce 4.6 version will be dropping the old mcs config setup in favor of a new xfconf framework.
I am intending to import 4.6b2 into rawhide soon. It would be great if you could port the imsettings-xfce plugin to the new settings model.
Some useful links: http://svn.xfce.org/index.cgi/xfce/xfconf/trunk/ http://mocha.xfce.org/~kelnos/xfconf/docs-current/
Happy to try and get more info or help from upstream...

--- Comment #2 from Christoph Wickert fedora@christoph-wickert.de 2009-01-13 19:48:12 EDT --- Akira, please forgive me if this is a stupid question: What is imsettings-xfce actually needed for? Doesn't imsettings store it's config and load it on startup? It is started automatically through the normal fdo autostart and can be configured through the the icon in the tray, so is this package really needed?

--- Comment #3 from Akira TAGOH tagoh@redhat.com 2009-01-13 20:51:50 EDT --- That relies on xsettings to deliver IM configuration on demand for gtk+ applications at least and also uses the configuration in gconf that gnome-settings-daemon stored. which does take care of it on GNOME. since xfce has own xsettings manager and it doesn't support the key for immodule, we needed add-on to do that. If adding the key to xfconf upstream is reasonable, that would be good. but I guess they don't like gconf at all? Though I can put the configuration for xfce anywhere if you like. then xfconf just delivers it through xsettings. there shouldn't be additional dependencies there.
Otherwise separate component like this would be good to manage/maintain it.

--- Comment #4 from Kevin Fenzi kevin@tummy.com 2009-02-12 15:03:54 EDT --- Any news here?
I am going to remove imsettings-xfce from the comps-f11 group for now, so people can get groupinstalls. We can add it back in if it's done in time for f11?
Or should we be looking at an ibus solution here?

--- Comment #5 from Akira TAGOH tagoh@redhat.com 2009-02-12 20:22:08 EDT --- Yes, please. that sounds reasonable. I'm still trying to have a certain time to work on this, but I didn't and may need more time to accomplish this.
ibus is an alternative solution for SCIM, but not imsettings FWIW.

--- Comment #6 from Akira TAGOH tagoh@redhat.com 2009-02-18 05:06:19 EDT --- After looking at xfce4-settings source code, there seems no way to provide a xsettings key outside XFCE because xfconf doesn't link to xsettings directly as xfce-mcs-manager did. so I've submitted a patch to suport it in xfce4-settings.

--- Comment #8 from Kevin Fenzi kevin@tummy.com 2009-02-19 16:21:58 EDT --- We can do either one. Thats a pretty minor patch, so if it would help you, I can apply it now.
On the other hand, hopefully 4.6 final will be out soon, so we can pick it up then.
Which would you prefer?

--- Comment #9 from Akira TAGOH tagoh@redhat.com 2009-02-19 21:03:00 EDT --- Sure. I'll be ready to make a release, including this fix and others soon. if 4.6 final will be out before a mass-rebuild, I can wait for that then. otherwise backporting a patch would be appreciated. though I could just push new one without it and would be buildable. but not working properly without it.
