Whats the status of these patches, are they going to be included in git? I would really think these improvements would be useful Thanks, Ben <div>On 11/24/06, Mike Dransfield <<a href="mailto:mike@blueroot.co.uk">mike@blueroot.co.uk</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> > Great, I've been hoping that someone would implement functionality for > retrieving all the option meta data through the dbus plugin.

I have also added some changes to send notifications as signals, this serves as a simple way for the actions to return information, doing it any other way would mean some nasty hacks to the core.  The downside is that script writers will have to deal with asynchronous programming. I will have a look at adding some functions to get information on windows and screens and then I will have a look at introspection. I have attached the patches in the git format specified, hopefully they will be acceptable. </blockquote></div>
