Hello People! I'm trying to get a grip of what timezone people are in, that wants to participate in the GNOME Weekly Meetings. Could you please go to http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/advmeeting.html and tell me what city/timezone you are in?

[opensuse-gnome] patch upstreaming kick start talk
by Rodrigo Moya 07 Feb '08

07 Feb '08

Hi Today in the meeting we talked about the patch upstreaming project (http://en.opensuse.org/Projects/PatchUpstreaming) and we decided to have a short (30-60 min) session on how to do it for external people. Since next week is hack week, not sure how many people will be doing patch upstreaming work, so the options are: * tomorrow (Friday) * next Monday * week after hack week since holding the patch upstreaming for another week is too much, we thought about having one short tomorrow, and another one next week (or the following one), so here's the plan Friday 8 Feb at 15:00 GMT (16:00 CET, 10:00 EST) Monday 11 Feb at 15:00 GMT (16:00 CET, 10:00 EST) (if needed) Monday 18 Feb 15:00 GMT (16:00 CET, 10:00 EST) unless someone speaks against it, that's what we'll do. -- Rodrigo Moya <rodrigo(a)novell.com> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] GTK File open/save dialogue won't respect theme colours and is rendered wrongly under KDE
by Tero Pesonen 06 Feb '08

06 Feb '08

Hi! I'm posting this to the Gnome list as I had no luck on the main opensuse list with this topic. Maybe some one here has a though to share on the problem. The problem is on openSUSE 10.3 while running KDE. Previously, on 9.3 and 10.2, I had always used the GTK theme HighContrastInverse for GTK apps. I had set it in the KDE control centre, and had never had any trouble with that. All was fine. Now, on a relatively fresh 10.3 installation, that setting (in GTK Styles component in KControl) no longer works. It sets exactly nothing, or at least the applications do not react to this setting. They simply launch with some default, whitish theme. I decided that the thing is faulty, and won't work. So I uninstalled the kcm-gtk-etc. rpm, which removed this menu entry. OK. Then I installed an app called gtk-chtheme (from Packman), that allows one to choose the GTK theme under KDE. It worked. But now there is a problem: The apps are rendered otherwise correctly, except that the GTK apps' Open/Save dialogue will not respect the HighContrastInverse theme-set colours. It's background is rendered with the right colour, but the file list has the default theme's whitish background, causing white text to be drawn on top of a very white background. The same applies to the other list on the left, the one that has "File System" and "Desktop" etc. links. The buttons and other widgets have the right colours on the dialogue. I've tried editing /usr/share/themes/HighContrastInverse/.../gtkrc, but nothing there affects the dialogue in any way (other parts of GTK applications do react as expected). The said dialogue simply ignores the colours on those two widgets. I also tried an older version of theme, whose colours I had manually edited and used on 10.2. It made no difference what so ever. I then tried other themes, too, even QT-GTK-something-Curve or something like that which was supposed to duplicate KDE colours on GTK. Well, it did. Except that the dialogue still had that same whitish background. It simply ignores anything any theme sets. I tried running Gnome, and there the HighContrastInverse (and others) show perfectly well. The said dialogue, too, is rendered correctly, and exactly like it was under KDE on 9.3 and 10.2 (except with my own version of the theme) I don't know what to do any more, or what to try. I even removed pretty much anything KFind found under my home directory tree with gtkrc in it (I searched for *gtkrc*), in order to rid KDE of any colour settings anywhere that the dialogue might inherit or something like that, but to no avail. I installed a clean 10.3, and did not upgrade over an older version or anything. So this should have worked out-of-the-box. Might any one know any reason this dialogue behaves the way it does? How could I investigate further? Here's a screenshot of the dialogue under KDE: https://secure.storegate.com/user/share.aspx?id=61d213fe-3c13-427b-8669- 6b098b9ef8dd Thanks for all ideas!

[opensuse-gnome] updating to gnome 2.21.5
by Michael Wolf 04 Feb '08

04 Feb '08

Yo I've started updating our gnome packages again, and I'm looking for help. Interested? You can volunteer as much or as little time as you wish. In fact, if you only updated your own favorite package and nothing else, even that would be helpful. We're doing this work in the GNOME:UNSTABLE project in the Build Service, and we're coordinating among ourselves using Google spreadsheets (so we don't have two or more people working on the same package without knowing about it). If you're keen, contact me off-list, and I'll set you up with access to the GNOME:UNSTABLE project and the spreadsheet.
