https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=212495 ------- Comment #2 from rml@novell.com 2006-10-15 08:40 MST ------- Sounds reasonable. Jimmy, the fix looks simple. FWIW, I checked the About Box on a bunch of other applications and it worked fine. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=212495 ------- Comment #7 from federico@ximian.com 2006-10-19 11:09 MST ------- Although strictly speaking this is an ABI change, the rationale is not bad: (11:50:36) federico: mclasen: so regardless of consistency with the rest of the dialog API, isn't this an ABI break? (11:50:53) mclasen: kind of (11:51:12) mclasen: but the failure mode is pretty benign (11:51:23) mclasen: no crash, and the user can still close the dialog with the window manager close button (11:51:33) mclasen: the old behaviour could lead to crashes (11:51:53) jannis [~jannis@e176178040.adsl.alicedsl.de] entered the room. (11:52:01) mclasen: and yes, I don't know why nobody uses the convenience api we conveived... (11:52:09) federico: it's not very well documented :) "The old behavior" is that gtk_about_dialog_new() would give you a dialog that destroys itself when the user closes it. Many apps assumed that the dialog would just get hidden, and they crashed when attempting to reuse the defunct object. "The convenience API" is gtk_show_about_dialog(). This is a fire-and-forget function to create an about dialog. The about dialog gets associated to a parent window and will be reused automatically if invoked a second time --- the program doesn't have to do any extra memory management on its own. I suggest that we change our apps that use gtk_about_dialog_new() to use gtk_show_about_dialog(): const char *authors[] = { "J. Random Hacker ", "J. Random Helper ", NULL } gtk_show_about_dialog (parent_window, "name", _("MyApp"), "version", "1.0", "copyright", _("Copyright 2006 J. Random Hacker"), "comments", _("MyApp is teh most awesome program evar!"), "license", "<insert the GPL here>", "authors", authors, NULL); Etc. These are the usual GObject properties from GAboutDialog. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
