[plugins] only link background/xrandr to mate-desktop, not main process

2012-12-15T00:57:08+00:00

Most of the plugins do not need gnome-desktop's functionality, so there is
no point in the main process linking against it.

[background] cleanup and refactor, fix several issues

2012-12-13T21:29:04+00:00

Namely:

1. In caja_is_drawing..(), only get atom for WM_CLASS property if it exists.

2. Cache gsettings draw-background & show-desktop-icons key-values, and only update
when either actually changes, to avoid unnecessary queries to the dconf-service.

3. Avoid conflicts between settings_change_event_cb() & on_bg_handling_changed().

4. Keep track of screen sizes, to ensure size actually changed when signalled, to
avoid double-redraw on an extraneous signal, which can lockup the daemon, because
we draw immediately (w/out g_idle_add). Though we don't fade in re-draws triggered
by size/monitors-changed signals, making all re-draws queued causes issues with
fading, when we do fade (on bg change), and queueing is unnecessary here anyway.

5. Track a redraw in progress, to avoid any possible (and unforseeable) clashes.

[background] free priv->fade on stop

2012-12-09T23:29:43+00:00

[background] remove useless _(set|get)_property & _dispose methods

2012-12-09T23:29:43+00:00

[plugins] cleanup macro magic in plugin.h

2012-12-06T16:48:25+00:00

And instead, use glib macros (since 2.14)

http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-settings-daemon/commit/?id=0dda56c4462e070dabdab68092b6574b5e894181

[background] Use new MATE_BG_KEY's defines from mate-bg.h, and fade option

2012-12-03T13:40:25+00:00

Observe new mate-bg (global) fade option, via do_crossfade_background()
Change dont_draw_background() to a do_, to avoid double-negative like !dont.

[background] fix XGetWindowProperty long_length & nitems_return params

2012-12-03T04:24:47+00:00

from 24 -> 20, to account for 'nautilus' -> 'caja' change (4 bytes less).

[background] Also check if caja is drawing bg when detecting settings changes

2012-12-03T01:57:37+00:00

hopefully to avoid taking over background-drawing when Caja is doing it.

[background] listen for draw-background/show-desktop-icons changed signals

2012-12-01T19:39:00+00:00

Because we should handle the background drawing when either:
- "draw-background" is re-enabled, or
- "show-desktop-icons" is disabled.

N.B.
We may still need to consider this issue, which was never resolved in gnome,
because they stopped auto-launching nautilus & removed it from 3.0 sessions:

Nautilus registers with the session before it's ready.

Would also be wise to import the (recent) changes made in the bug below:

Provide a singleton SessionManager proxy object

[background] Don't draw the background if "draw-background" is false
