This adds a GApplication object to GIO, which is the core of
an application support class, supporting
- uniqueness
- exporting actions (simple scripting)
- standard actions (quit, activate)
The implementation for Linux uses D-Bus, takes a name on the
session bus, and exports a org.gtk.Application interface.
Implementations for Win32 and OS X are still missing.
add GSimplePermission, a trivial const implementation of GPermission
can-request and can-release are always false for this implementation and
the value of 'allowed' is decided at construction.
Fixup for commit 133f66538d which
duplicated the contents of most of the migration documentation by
splitting it out into separate files but keeping the original file
intact (with a rename).
This removes the duplicated content from the renamed file.
This uncovered a bug in name watching if the name wasn't activatable.
Also provoked the need for on_connection variants of g_bus_watch_name
(added g_bus_watch_proxy's variant as well).
This makes it possible to use the cached properties mechanism even if
constructing the proxy with the DO_NOT_LOAD_PROPERTIES flag.
This is useful for cases where you obtain the and track object
properties out-of-band. For example, in udisks, the plan is to have
something like this
Manager.GetObjects (out ao paths, out aa{sa{sv}} all_properties);
Manager.ObjectAdded (o path, a{sa{sv}} all_properties);
Manager.ObjectChanged (o path, a{sa{sv}} all_properties);
Manager.ObjectRemoved (o path, a{sa{sv}} all_properties);
E.g. the first GetObjects() call will return *all* data about *all*
exported objects. Further, this way a client will only need to listen
these three signals (three AddMatch) on the Manager object and it will
never need to do GetAll() etc (e.g. can use DO_NOT_LOAD_PROPERTIES).
(Of course this only works if the client is interested in all
objects... while this is true for udisks it is generally not true for
other D-Bus services).
Also use expected_interface to check for programming errors.
Lots of people been suggesting this. We still use MethodInvocation /
method_invocation for handling incoming method calls so use call()
instead of invoke_method() helps to separate the client and server
facilities. Which is a good thing(tm).
