Most the signals are attached to objects *in* ShellGlobal. For example, `global.display` is a `Meta.Display` so you have to check out the Mutter documentation for what signals it has. As to why the properties are not specified, I'm not sure - perhaps you're meant to use `global.get_display()` rather than `global.display` etc?? (BTW, you can do g-ir-doc-tool /usr/lib/mutter/Meta-3.0.gir -o /path/to/some/folder to generate the documentation for mutter in that folder. Then do yelp /path/to/that/folder to look at it in a help browser. If it complains "Couldn't find include 'XYZ.gir'", then you have to generate that gir via g-ir-generate /usr/lib/girepository-1.0/XYZ.typelib > /usr/share/gir-1.0/XYZ.gir before running g-ir-doc-tool on Meta-3.0.gir again. At some point I had a plan to generate the documentation and put it somewhere online for convenience until the "new documentation system" is up and running, but I guess I forgot about it... Unfortunately g-ir-doc-tool seems to crash when I try to do the same on Shell-0.1.gir.) > > Note that there is currently work on a new documentation system that can > > generate native JS documentation instead of C > > I eagerly await such a thing :) > > - Jason > _______________________________________________ > gnome-shell-list mailing list > gnome-shell-list@gnome.org > https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list >
