Hi! There are calls to hide_all() method after construction of vmm-manager and vmm-details dialogs to prevent possible flickering during appending more elements to these dialogs. However, it is possible to declare visibility property in xml files and to prevent libglade to show dialogs automatically. diff -r 375f441f26e1 src/virtManager/details.py --- a/src/virtManager/details.py Mon Jan 26 13:07:58 2009 -0500 +++ b/src/virtManager/details.py Fri Jan 30 15:25:40 2009 +0100 @@ -107,7 +107,6 @@ self.vm = vm topwin = self.window.get_widget("vmm-details") - topwin.hide_all() self.err = vmmErrorDialog(topwin, 0, gtk.MESSAGE_ERROR, gtk.BUTTONS_CLOSE, _("Unexpected Error"), diff -r 375f441f26e1 src/virtManager/manager.py --- a/src/virtManager/manager.py Mon Jan 26 13:07:58 2009 -0500 +++ b/src/virtManager/manager.py Fri Jan 30 15:25:40 2009 +0100 @@ -112,7 +112,6 @@ def __init__(self, config, engine): self.__gobject_init__() self.window = gtk.glade.XML(config.get_glade_dir() + "/vmm-manager.glade", "vmm-manager", domain="virt-manager") - self.window.get_widget("vmm-manager").hide_all() self.err = vmmErrorDialog(self.window.get_widget("vmm-manager"), 0, gtk.MESSAGE_ERROR, gtk.BUTTONS_CLOSE, _("Unexpected Error"), diff -r 375f441f26e1 src/vmm-details.glade --- a/src/vmm-details.glade Mon Jan 26 13:07:58 2009 -0500 +++ b/src/vmm-details.glade Fri Jan 30 15:25:40 2009 +0100 @@ -3,7 +3,7 @@ <!--*- mode: xml -*--> <glade-interface> <widget class="GtkWindow" id="vmm-details"> - <property name="visible">True</property> + <property name="visible">False</property> <property name="title" translatable="yes">Virtual Machine</property> <property name="default_width">700</property> <property name="default_height">540</property> diff -r 375f441f26e1 src/vmm-manager.glade --- a/src/vmm-manager.glade Mon Jan 26 13:07:58 2009 -0500 +++ b/src/vmm-manager.glade Fri Jan 30 15:25:40 2009 +0100 @@ -3,7 +3,7 @@ <!--*- mode: xml -*--> <glade-interface> <widget class="GtkWindow" id="vmm-manager"> - <property name="visible">True</property> + <property name="visible">False</property> <property name="title" translatable="yes">Virtual Machine Manager</property> <property name="default_width">700</property> <property name="default_height">500</property> -- wbr, Vitaly _______________________________________________ et-mgmt-tools mailing list et-mgmt-tools@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/et-mgmt-tools
