hi, We are making an panel applet.. Now it should launch itself on the panel at startup We read http://www.gnome.org/learn/admin-guide/2.0/ch01s06.html#gconf-14 however as suggested here and on http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gconf-list/2004-July/msg00032.html we tried using the gconftool Now first we use it with -get to get the existing applet_id_list This gives me 6-7 attributes including [Default value] that has the list.Then we append the list to add our applet id to the list using gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults --owner=panel --type list --list-type string --set "/apps/panel/default_profiles/medium/general /applet_id_list [the appended list here] the problem is that the original xml file that has the applet id list first mentions type=schema ,then ltype=list and stype=string. i.e - <entry name="applet_id_list" mtime="1108490293" muser="root" type="schema" list_type="string" stype="list" owner="panel"> - <local_schema locale="C"> - <default type="list" ltype="string"> - <li type="string"> <stringvalue>tasklist_applet</stringvalue> </li> - <li type="string"> <stringvalue>pager_applet</stringvalue> </li> etc...... But when i used the gconftool to append to the list i get a file like:- - <entry name="applet_id_list" mtime="1112226175" muser="root" type="list" ltype="string"> - <li type="string"> <stringvalue>xxx_applet</stringvalue> </li> - <li type="string"> <stringvalue>tasklist_applet</stringvalue> </li> - <li type="string"> <stringvalue>pager_applet</stringvalue> </li> etc... As u can see the modified file does NOT have type==schema but list etc. I dunno how to get this. i should probably give a schema so i Tried using --apply-schema with a .schema file that has the modified complete applet_is_list. but nothing happened.no change to the file Even tried to -get-schema-name i.e the schema thats being applied to the key but it says,there's no schema applied to the file!! Probably i dunno how to use it properly. Could someone help me........ Also when i manually modified all the required files.........the applet runs when i shutdown and restart but NOT when i log out and re-login. do i need to handle some signal or what? sorry for the long mail but i thought maybe it'll make things clearer for others to answer.
