Hi.
Since Diodon is really an awesome power application (that IMHO should be actually part of GNOME), one might think whether it should be more considered a "service", i.e. one where the user can select to have it automatically started (at session login) or not.
For that it would probably also make sense to transfer the current preferences dialog into the control panel.
Obviously, if you implement the ideas in bug #1235828 and #1235823 the user would have no GUI way of quitting Diodon (which fits this model of having it as a "service" quite well).... but people could still reach then preferences dialog via the control panel then,... and thus be able to get the system tray icon back and quit it in a clean way.
Additionally one should probably do the following: if a user runs diodon while it is already running and the system tray icon has been disabled then:
the system tray icon should show up again temporarily (i.e. it should vanish again, when one clicks somewhere als) with Quit and Preferences.
Cheers,
Chris. |
Preferences dialog should be integrated into GNOME System Settings.
