Hi, I would like to suggest a patch that adds Apport[1] monitoring to gnome-settings-daemon. The purpose of the patch is to monitor a directory (/var/crash) for incoming Apport crash reports and run a reporting tool (apport-gtk). I implemented this functionality as a gnome-settings-daemon plugin. This patch is just a draft since it has some issues. Please help me to solve those: - I built packages with modified gnome-settings-daemon [2], but for some reason this patched daemon doesn't work as supposed. Although, I tested gsd-apport-manager with a testcase included in my patch and it worked fine. - Does GIO has something similar to inotify's CLOSE_WRITE monitor? I need GIO to handler file-closed-after-write events. As for now I ended up with G_FILE_MONITOR_EVENT_ATTRIBUTE_CHANGED but it's just not fine to lauch crash checking tool several times. - Does GTK has any out-of-the-box applet notifying methods? I need something similar to libnotify, but I don't think it's worth adding one more dependency to gsd. Hopefully I haven't missed something and I'll appreciate any feedback.
