Hi, I'm not a member of the list, but I read your email in the archive. I actually sent my email 14 days ago, it seems like it was hold for moderator approval since. First, thanks a lot for your work on this! Still, your proposal does not solve the problem I wanted to solve. I think I didn't explain it precisely enough: I tried to set the state to False _after_ it was _already_ set to True (the service runs into an error at some point _after_ it was started successfully). I came to the conclusion that this might just not be possible, because the state is only designed for a delayed state change, but not for a state change independent from the active state.

I re-sent to the list and put some test code in Python this time since that is what it looks like you are using. Hopefully things work better now. > > Eric > > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: segfault <segfault@xxxxxxxxxx> > To: gtk-list <gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx> > Sent: Thu, Nov 3, 2016 5:13 am > Subject: Gtk.Switch.set_state() without setting active > > Hi, > > I'm using a Gtk.Switch to start/stop a service.
