I'm trying to figure out how to use DBus from my Gnome Shell extension. I have the option of using the GLib DBus interface, but then I saw that there's actual Gjs DBus bindings! The Gnome Live Gjs page only has a link to here:
http://erick2red.github.com/blog/2011/05/28/dbus-in-gjs-and-gnome-shell/ ...but I still have a few questions: 1. That page doesn't mention introspection - is it supported? Can I get away with not explicitly specifying the signatures on the interfaces I want to use? 2. The method called Notify in the interface definition becomes NotifyRemote when it's called. Why is that? 3. How do the callbacks work - is it a single function with two parameters: 'result' and 'error'? Can I instead use two separate callbacks? Is 'result' undefined if there's an error, or is it something else (ie. how do I test for success)? 4. Can I make blocking calls instead? 5. Can I connect to signals? Cheers, Jason _______________________________________________ gnome-shell-list mailing list gnome-shell-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list
