Posted on April 27, 2005 by Emmanuele Bassi

After being in Florence with Marta for just about two days, I’ve received the “go ahead” from the gtk2-perl team, and committed my patch for the GKeyFile bindings (closing bug #301171). Now you can parse the .desktop files directly in … Continue reading →

Gtk2::Recent and recent-files

Posted on April 16, 2005 by Emmanuele Bassi

Gtk2::Recent status: Finally, the libegg/recent-files bindings for Perl hit the gtk2-perl CVS server (well, at least the authenticated CVS server; anonymous CVS should be updated in 24 hours). recent-files status: On a related note, I mailed James Willcox (the recent-files … Continue reading →

GNOME Keyring Kills Babies

I’ve just downloaded the gnome-keyring-manager application, written for the GNOME Love effort, in order to see its new UI; along the way, I decided to give a look to the gnome-keyring library. The more I look at gnome-keyring.h, the more … Continue reading →
