You're welcome!

If you are using actman 0.9 (from extras-testing) and found it to be working as expected and you haven't observed any problems (i.e. root fs consumption) then you should vote for it.

Hello maemoers,

Actman v0.9 is in extras-testing for some time now and it has only received 4 votes. Since this is a bug-fix release I argue you to test it and vote for it in order to make it available in extras.

Writing an app is the first step but testing it and promoting it is the second. Both of them are very important. So go ahead... test it... brutally :-)

Can you elaborate on this? Did it changed their position? Did they loose their configuration? Was it working before? Any screenshots?

i also have a problem with the queen beecon widgets. when switching activites, even if no changes to the beecon widgets are made within the two activities, the widgets are reset to their default but are at the correct location.

Queen Beecon Widget is a multi instance Widget which relies on the existence of hildon-home and hildon-desktop instance-specific core files in directory:
Code:
/var/lib/gconf/apps/osso/hildon-desktop/applets
QBW, for its cleanup procedures, checks in this directory for instance specific files. If files do not exist then Widget instance is assumed to have been closed/dismissed and configuration file purged of dismissed instance data.

This cleanup is performed in this specific sections of the code:

When instance is created and initialized:
Code:
static void queen_beecon_init (QueenBeecon *self)
{
g_warning ("(%p) queen_beecon_init",self);
	self->priv = QUEEN_BEECON_GET_PRIVATE (self);

	beecon_config_file_housekeeping(NULL);// Let's do some preventive housekeeping before each instance creation
When Widget class if finalized:
Code:
static void queen_beecon_class_finalize (QueenBeeconClass *klass G_GNUC_UNUSED)
{
g_warning ("(%p) queen_beecon_class_finalize",klass);
	beecon_config_file_housekeeping(NULL); // Last housekeeping!!! How HARD!!!! :)
}
When settings dialog is opened:
Code:
static void queen_beecon_init (QueenBeecon *self)
{
g_warning ("(%p) queen_beecon_init",self);
	self->priv = QUEEN_BEECON_GET_PRIVATE (self);

	beecon_config_file_housekeeping(NULL);// Let's do some preventive housekeeping before each instance creation
I don't know if hildon-home and hildon-desktop are completely bug-free but I'm not sure that killing hildon-home is the proper method for handling this scenario.

I just uploaded a new version of D.A.M. to extras-testing. The major difference of this version is that it restarts hildon-home (it kills it) when switching desktops.

While using N900 I came to believe that hildon-home has memory leaks. Perhaps it's just a problem of its widgets, but they seem to make the system much slower and increase memory usage. I thus changed D.A.M. a bit to restart (kill) hildon-home when emptying the desktops.

You're all encouraged to test the new version. If all works well you may see (as a sideeffect) a performance increase to your system because of the restarting of hildon-home.

Please report back success/failure. I'm somehow afraid of uploading a program to extras that kills hildon-home (it restarts by itself).
Hope this helps you in troubleshooting this issue.

Ciao.

Ok - I understand what this does but how do I save my desktop etc?

Do I click new to create a profile and then make changes to it? Or make changes to current desktops/widgets and then click new to save my changes?

The GUI is not very intuitive and I can't understand how exactly I can save my desktop state.

What you need is a button like, Save Current Desktop State (to a new profile).

1: make your desktop how you want it.
2: open desktop manager
3: click new and call it somthing
4: done
