well i managed to compile it, but i end up with a bunch of new deb files.
what one should i install?

Felix


well i installed them all, logged back in.

and the only thing i see is that my menus in the applications are getting another color, not getting them out on the bar.

and now you test/testmenubar won't do anything anymore.

Hi Felix, I don't see that line in the patch. Here is the most recent patch(the one working on my computer):

http://gnome2-globalmenu.googlecode....gtk2-aqd.patch

If you get some debs, the gtk2 one is supposed to be used.

i was getting the patch from this thread.

it works a bit when i start a new gnome-terminal.
i get the menu in my bar

but when i go switch in and out of the gnome-terminal (that has a visible menu in the top bar, not in the application):

There was a lot of fixes during these days. The Segmentation fault is something unrelated to the warnings.
I think both are fixed in the latest svn. Would you have a try?

Seriously, I am considering moving these to the trunk.

well after removing test from the Makefile

i can run make
and it won't crash anymore, but i don't have any menu either.

so one step forward one step back

Felix

the test from the older version, does work again :S
getting wierder and wierder lol

[kinap]

and it won't crash anymore, but i don't have any menu either.

SUCCESS

after rebooting. cause my top bar was acting wierd.
it suddenly works

Good show

now all is left is making it better looking

cause having the text label on my bar is a bit wierd

Felix

hmm i'm sure i had edited this message:S

with gnome-terminal it crashes if you go trough the menus, a few menu's pop up, but suddenly i get this error and it stops working, at least for a while, then it picks up again

I know why this happens but I don't have time to fix it.
Just try epiphany and click 'Bookmarks'. It should be either a crash or no bookmarks at all.

It is because the popup menu is rebuilt while it is active. It happens in the application that build the popup menu on-the-fly.

The possible way to solve it is to implement a partial update routine; if the popup menu is modified(menu item is added or removed), the partial update modifies the direct parent involved(the popup menu here). Because only children are added or removed, the popup menu keeps realized during the emission. If all the events are dealt by the popup menu(very likely to be true), the problem can be solved.

BTW: I did a cross-merge from 0.5-devel to trunk.
Thereafter trunk has updated to 0.5; the old trunk's backup is at branches/0.4

All new development will be committed to trunk(the true trunk, svn/trunk). branches/0.5-devel is abandoned.

You can hide the label by editing the GnomenuServerApplet.glade; Don't use glade-3 editor, use a text-editr; glade-editor will screw you from the back by removing the GnomenuGlobalMenu widget silently.

GLADE is awesome at some points isn't it.

The testglobal problem is fixed.

Check it out at
