TL;DR : This post is about an experience I had in 2004 and it's part of my consolidating technical posts I wrote in time. It may or may not be relevant to today's technologies. One night in October 2004 ( WOW! it's almost 10 years!! ) I decided that it should be possible to group a bunch of widgets…

Note: This is a really old post which was originally published in 2007. Stuff may have changed since both with Qt and D-BUS The D-Bus translation First, note the "arg0" annotation, required for the struct type: This actually helps the qdbusxml2cpp to typ-ify the generated code. On the client…

For the past few days I've been trying to get more complex data sent via D-Bus. As one would say here in Ireland: Je'zus H. Christ Playing with python was easy. There are lots of examples on communicating complex data structures. But with Qt... It's a bit more complex, because there are only a set…

Note: This is a really old post transferred from Laurii for historical and consolidation purposes. First message! I've got my first D-BUS message sent from the style UI to the server. It's an "add style" message, but there's not much beyond this progress. The upside is that I think the D-BUS…

Well, I've updated my laptop and desktop to SuSE 9.2. Is very nice, but still the profile switching is a bit heavy-duty for me (all I need is to change wireless networks automatically...). So I'm back writing my wireless daemon and now I'm having fun with QDom* and XML in python :) I've got a key…

Last night (or better: this morning) I decided that it should be possible to group a bunch of widgets (back-to-back) in a menu entry. ..Ahh, the stress :).. First, I tried "java style" (aka look on the net, maybe some other manic already did it). Either I was too tired, or it just didn't work. So…
