However when I enter a number, it simply does nothing. The dial button acts as if pressed, but nothing ever happens. Thought I saw mention of this earlier in the thread, but didnt notice any resolution.

Also I have NO OTHER account or dialer/voip type app configured on the 810, gizmo, skype etc. That whole bit confused me.

Am I missing something? Can I not just have google voice, login with dial central & make a call out?

Given that I'd like to reuse as much Dialcentral code as possible, it's being written in python using the hildon-desktop-python-loader and python-hildondesktop bindings.

I've looked at the homememfree applet source code, which is also written in python.

But when I try to write a simple applet that displays just a label with static text, it doesn't work. It shows up in the list of available applets just fine, but when I select it, it does nothing, and going back to the list of applets shows it deselected.

If I convert the exact code I have to instead inherit from hildon.Window instead of hildondesktop.HomeItem, it runs fine as a regular program.

Anybody have any hints for debugging this kind of thing?

/usr/lib/hildon-desktop/quickdial.py

Code:

import gtk
import hildondesktop
#import hildon

class QuickDial(hildondesktop.HomeItem):
#class QuickDial(hildon.Window):
    def __init__(self):
        hildondesktop.HomeItem.__init__(self)
        #hildon.Window.__init__(self)

        self.label = gtk.Label()
        self.label.set_text("Hello World!")

        self.add(self.label)

        self.connect("destroy", gtk.main_quit)
        self.show_all()

def hd_plugin_get_objects():
    plugin = QuickDial()
    return [plugin]

if __name__ == "__main__":
    objects = hd_plugin_get_objects()
    gtk.main()

/usr/share/applications/hildon-home/quickdial.desktop

Code:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=QuickDial
Type=python
X-Path=quickdial.py

I'll try turning off notifications at night and see if it makes a difference. Anybody else experience this or is it just me?

Whenever I open up DC and try to dial in a number then hit dial, it won't call me. Contacts works just fine though. Also keep in mind epage my NIT was having issues with the whole broken version issue.
