i just updated dr launch and it seems that the "kill all my hildon widgets" bug is still there, so i dont think thats fix, unless you thing that a purge and reinstall should sort that out.
thanks for putting effort on this

a) Can you please describe what you did? Was an older version installed and you upgraded?

b) What was the result? If for example you restart the phone, is drlaunch visible/usable?

c) Try this at phone:

Code:

$ cd /usr/lib/hildon-desktop
$ python drlaunch_widget.py

That should fail with

Code:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "drlaunch_widget.py", line 33, in <module>
    gobject.type_register(hd_plugin_type)
NameError: name 'gobject' is not defined

If not, please report.

d) Try this at phone:

Code:

$ cd /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.5/drlaunch/
$ python2.5 widget.py

This should not produce any output and instead display the widget. If not, please report.

Also, please verify that you are *not* using version 0.7-1. Instead you should be using version 0.7-3.

I have no problems with 0.7-3 so far, everything looks good!
Thanks for the 8x4 grid support!
I have only one feature request: Could you use the current theme background picture for application shortcuts instead of the custom widget one? It would look better (fit better to the theme).
Would be really nice!
These are the two files:

I also had the "kill all non-stock widgets" problem with the previous version of DrLaunch and I can confirm that it's still present.

After installing the latest version 0.7.3 (previous version was uninstalled) all non-stock widgets disappeared from all desktops.

It is very usable and seems to function perfectly well.

The output was exactly what you expected.

Again, the result was the expected one.

Just tell me of any ways I can help you sort this out!

EDIT: The bug where the widget jumps to another desktop when pressing the settings icon also seems to be around still...

OK, clearly there are differences between your system and mine because I cannot reproduce the crash in any way. The bad thing is that it seems that I'm the exception.

Which theme are you using? Have you modded your device in any way? Which widgets do you have enabled?

If you type

Code:

$ dpkg -l python2.5-qt4-core

Do you get version "4.7.4-maemo0"?

I assume you use PR1.2.

Finally It could be useful if you installed lsof and gave me the output of:

Code:

$ lsof -nc hildon-home

Would be really nice!

There are two problems with that:

It won't be possible to have the glowing effect since bitmaps are static. (Maybe just make this an option).
Icon backgrounds would need rotation too but this would require a larger bounding box for each icon (imagine the background icon rotated at 45 degrees).

However, I promise that I'll give it a look.

Same for me. Anyway, once installed it works perfectly.

Well, I'm using the Plastic Theme. I haven't made any serious mods, and I can try to make a list of all my widgets in a bit.

Yes to both.

Thank you in advance.
For me the rotating feature is not so important as using the themes background pictures so I could live with that.
