I don't know when I have seen the last time the printer applet in mate-panel.
On my attempts to revive the applet I stumbled on the abstract socket stuff in
the Python code of applet.py
If i try to start
/usr/share/system-config-printer/applet.py I get the exception
Process already running (2:No such file or directory). Exiting.
For the used syntax
sock.bind("\0printer-applet-lock-user-" + getpass.getuser())
the error is 2:No such file or directory, the "Process already running" notice
is the interpretation of the exception handler
A sock.bind with an normal string works, but not the style with the leading \0.
This is the syntax for abstract sockets on Linux.
I have no idea if abstract sockets would work on Illumos and Python. But how
should work the printer applet on non Linux systems?
Thanks!
