- Gnome-schedule 2.0.2 -

It turns out that a bug in Python 2.4’s locale module has affected the two latest Gnome Schedule releases, this release comes with yet a new way to work with at. And I hope our efforts to create a backend that is compatible with all distributions, locales and versions of at finally has borne fruits. For those that it interests we are now using the POSIXLY_CORRECT environment variable to get an expected output.

Gnome-schedule is a graphical user interface that leverages the power
of crontab (vixie-cron, dcron) and at to manage your crontab file and
provide an easy way to schedule tasks on your computer. It supports
recurrent (periodical) tasks and tasks that happen only once in the
future. It is written in Python using pygtk, and has been developed,
tested and packaged for various Linux distributions.

Fixed in this release:
* New parsing system for the at backend
* Using the new icon for applet

I created a small widget deriving of GtkWindow which I called GtkDrop (I prepended the Gtk in hope that it might be useful enough to get included in gtk+).

I once wanted to create a popup calendar for gnome-schedule and this is basically that code put into a widget (and ported to C).

It is intended to be a ‘popup’/'dropdown’ container where you can add any widget and it will behave similar to menus or comboboxes. And you will be able to use the widget inside it, ie: write in a GtkEntry or press a GtkButton.

Here is a screenshot:

In case you want to try it out download it, the test program is included.

Been fixing (or applying patches from Frank Arnold) on some pretty annoying bugs in gnome-schedule after the release. But now it should be ready, and I will make a new release soon.

Started using OpenBox, it is great, I am getting more and more annoyed by the more and more heavy desktop environments. But they are handy to have to pick out the particular tools from.

Finally figured out why auto mounting stopped working.
gparted prevents all removable storage to be mounted while it is running, but removes this policy at exit so that the original settings apply. However if you kill it you have this file leftover making trouble.
