Hi colchaodemola,

it would be better to ask those question in the development subforum.
Is your widget a QT or a hildon desktop widget?
If it is hildon, you can search the api doc:
http://maemo.org/api_refs/5.0/5.0-fi...tem.properties
To react on desktop switching connect to the notify event
for the is-on-current-desktop property.

Nicolai

I would suggest you pick through the source code of swipecounter - it does exactly what you are looking for.

YES, you can set up a gconf monitor.
You can specify a callback method, and it will call you back when the actual desktop has been changed.

You can checkout Sticky Notes to see how.

The actual relevant code is in this file. (Added to Sticky Notes via svn:externals.)

If you have questions about it, just ask.

Note that there is also a Qt-based gconf client in libqg. (Part of MAFW), though I preferred to use gconf directly.

Any examples in Python ?
I am changing the sms_counter plugin ... and i am using EOP (Example oriented programming :P)

Well, if you can interface Python with C libraries, it is most likely doable.
Anyways, it seems that there have been others who use gconf from Python code:
