xpad critical start

[Jason]

xpad has a critical start and has all grey boxes with no ability to input or manage any portion of any pad.

The error is:

(xpad:3953): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: IA__g_object_set_valist: construct property "type" for object `XpadPad' can't be set after construction

I have submitted a fix for this to FreeBSD, as that is that only OS I use and test on. This bug exists in the stable and trunk versions of xpad, and I have tested the patch on both and it works.

Here is a link to the bug I posted to FreeBSD: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=147662

I'm using attached patch for the NetBSD package collection.

g_object_set will abort if unsettable properties is found, then rest of property setters will be ignored.
So use GTK API to set window properties to avoid other properties will break again in the future.

Applied OBATA Akio patch in revision 631

Is this going to be brought back to stable trunk, and possibly in the next stable release?

[Siergiej Riaguzow (riaguzov)]

This is in v4.1. I'm currently working on v4.2 which has a bunch of bugs targeted to it, so it will take some time (not a year like with v4.1, no, really). About the next stable release: I didn't plan to make a stable release before v4.2.

[Siergiej Riaguzow (riaguzov)]

If you really wan't v4.1 to became next stable please say, at least I believe I will have to target Bugs #891308, #859824 and #834931 for it.

[Siergiej Riaguzow (riaguzov)]

I meant:
Bug #891308, Bug #859824 and Bug #834931

The path you choose for releasing is fine. I was just wondering if the changes you are making are going to make it into the next stable release, when you do infact have a stable release.

I am not maintaining the xpad (stable) and xpad-current (trunk) ports for FreeBSD, so I will keep an eye out for updates.

Thanks!

Correction:

I am now maintaining the xpad (stable) and xpad-current (trunk) ports for FreeBSD, so I will keep an eye out for updates.
