[Bcc: all maintainers of GNOME applets]<br>
<br>
Hi,<br>
<br>
as it was already mentioned for other reasons, GNOME 3 is just around<br>
the corner, and there are some big changes ahead. DO NOT PANIC: the<br>
current desktop with gnome-panel and metacity will remain as an<br>
alternative. Anyone wanting to troll about how gnome-shell sucks is<br>
invited to do so elsewhere, since the topic here is gnome-panel.<br>
<br>
The panel remains, but it will be a GTK3 / D-Bus panel. In its current<br>
state, it doesn’t support the good old GTK2 / bonobo applets, of which<br>
we have a lot in the archive. Upstream confirmed they don’t have time to<br>
support them for 3.0 unless someone steps up to do the job.<br>
<br>
If you develop, maintain or use one of those packages, and you don’t<br>
want it to disappear, your options are now:<br>
<br>
1. Prepare to disable gnome-panel support (that’s for packages<br>
which already have other options, such as using the notification<br>
area).<br>
2. If meaningful (it depends on the applet), switch to another<br>
technology such as libappindicator or the notification area.<br>
3. Port your applet to GTK3 and the new D-Bus API. The bindings for<br>
Python and C# will probably not work either, so you might have<br>
to start with them.<br>
4. Step up and do the work to add support for bonobo applets in the<br>
panel.<br>
<br>
Option 4 is the only way to keep all applets with low maintenance in<br>
Debian. It should be possible by developing a gateway D-Bus service that<br>
loads a bonobo applet in a process separate from the panel and proxies<br>
signals through it. If you are interested, please get in touch with<br>
upstream. If no one is interested, a large portion of the following list<br>
is going to leave the archive.<br>
