Thomas,

You don’t have a new enough GTK+ or pygtk. It is only available in GTK+ 2.12 and by association pygtk 2.12.

Thomas again, John.

In my last post, “runs OK” should read:
“setup.py install runs OK”.

John,

RE: d-feet

I have opensuse 10.3 with libs for:
dbus 1.0.3
dbus python 0.82.0
pygtk 2.10.6
python 2.5.2

devel libs are also installed.

runs OK, but I get this traceback at startup:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/usr/local/bin/d-feet”, line 47, in
app = DFeetApp.DFeetApp()
File “/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/dfeet/DFeetApp.py”, line 29, in __init__
ui = UILoader(UILoader.UI_MAINWINDOW)
File “/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/dfeet/_ui/uiloader.py”, line 34, in __init__
self.ui = gtk.Builder()
AttributeError: ‘module’ object has no attribute ‘Builder’

I don’t know python to interpret this output. any feedback?

Thanks,
Thomas

Ya, those are placeholders for future UI elements so getting rid of them is not an option. I might add a way to hide them like the terminal has though.

D-Feet has lot of unused space. Menubar with one item: “File”, toolbar with two buttons…

You should merge them in some way.

If you got the git checkout instead of the tarball I had forgot to add the icon to the git tree. It is in there now so doing a git-update, reinstall and update your icon cache by running

gtk-update-icon-cache /usr/share/hicolor

as root. I need to figure out how to do this in setuptools. I usually do this step in the RPM.

Hi, I see that d-feet installs it’s icons into /usr/share/icons/hicolor/16×16/apps, however I still get this error over and over:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/home/eric/sources/d-feet-0.1.7/dfeet/dbus_introspector.py”, line 450, in on_get_value
return name.get_icon()
File “/home/eric/sources/d-feet-0.1.7/dfeet/dbus_introspector.py”, line 144, in get_icon
icon_table = _ui.wnck_utils.IconTable.get_instance()
File “/home/eric/sources/d-feet-0.1.7/dfeet/_ui/wnck_utils.py”, line 64, in get_instance
cls.instance = IconTable()
File “/home/eric/sources/d-feet-0.1.7/dfeet/_ui/wnck_utils.py”, line 22, in __init__
self.default_icon = icon_theme.load_icon(’dfeet-icon-default-service’, 16, 0)
gobject.GError: Icon ‘dfeet-icon-default-service’ not present in theme

Could something be causing hicolor to not be a fallback for my icon theme? I’ve tried a few (GNOME, Tango) and none appear to work.

Thanks.
