[MeeGo-dev] Issues getting Network Panel to display properly with NM

[Yang, Lei A]

Hi Andrew, 

As I know, the panel architecture has some changes from Moblin 2.1 to MeeGo 1.0.
The panels are more modularized from main panel and running as a separated process. 


Simply speaking, main panel (codes in mutter-moblin) is a server and the sub panels are clients. 
Sub panel needs to register the itself to main panel (the icon, tooltip, execute file) and when user clicks panel icon on the main panel, D-Bus will launch the corresponding process to show the real contents. 
Specific to Network Panel, considering network may need to be checked and connected after boot up. The panel process will be launched by default.


For more details, you can go to http://meego.gitorious.com/meego-netbook-ux and check out codes of *mutter-meego* and *meego-panel-networks* for reference. 


Thanks, 
Lei Y

My issue still remains, could someone advise on what has changed from Moblin 2.1 to MeeGo 1.0 that would render what used to work inoperable?
Is it an API change or is there something else?  There appears to be a major attitude change along with the code/version change, almost one of exclusivity and not inclusion - shame.

I also appreciate the compliance issue as Rob has already pointed that out to me on IRC.  I am not calling my work MeeGo but am giving credit where it is due, and I want to work with MeeGo to ensure as wide an audience as possible can drink from the cup of yummy shininess.  I most certainly wouldn't want a certain distro to get all the netbook glory now ;-)

Regards,

Andy
