logout gui and shutdown gui un-themed

[leigh123linux]

The logout gui and shutdown gui un-themed in the latest git snapshots, I'm sure these gui's were themed before?

[monochromec]

Good question - facing the same issues still in 1.3.1. Hasn't really changed in the last snapshot from the merlwiz79 repos...

I actually don't believe these were themed in the past. I started using Cinnamon around 1.1.2 era and I'm pretty sure they were un-themed then. I think there was a ticket for it as well at some point.

@monochromec merlwiz79 repository for Cinnamon is no longer being updated according to him. 1.2.0 is in there now.

You would be better off using https://launchpad.net/~gwendal-lebihan-dev/+archive/cinnamon-stable to stay up to date.

@psych I sure it was themed in 1.0.0 :-)

[psych]

Yeah, you're right. I started thinking about it and it was themed. And then I checked in the current and it was themed. It just didn't look like it to me. Apologies.

[monochromec]

Which is odd as I just pulled 1.3.1 from the merlwiz79 repo (at least according to the logs).

Just to be crystal clear on the symptoms: when "un-themed" is mentioned an absent behaviour of the GUI elements is meant, i.e. the buttons are present but defunct. What I'm experiencing is that when I press shutdown or logout nothing happens at all.

[psych]

That would be odd: Is it this PPA you're mentioning? https://launchpad.net/~merlwiz79/+archive/cinnamon-ppa

That just has 1.2 in it. Maybe you have another PPA active?

[monochromec]

Sorry - you're right. Got confused - Mint directly pulled it from the official Lisa repo. Thanks for the hint about the defunct repo - will purge.

Any thoughts / ideas about the original issue?

After renaming dbus paths gnome-session fails connect to cinnamon to display logout dialog. If connection fails then gnome-session displays gtk-based ("un-themed") fallback dialog.

There patch for restore communication with gnome-session. Patch is not well tested, probably it breaks something other.

Sorry, misunderstanding. In the version I was referring to earlier on, the functions of the pop-up menu are simply dead. No further query dialog, nothing. It's like the functionality is missing from the GUI at all. Is this issue (which is really annoying from a usability perspective) going to be addressed in a future release of this otherwise great software?

[AlbertJP]

Perhaps. Commit rat4@33337b5 also introduces regressions. I think some developer will have to look into the DBus naming conventions to finally solve this problem (and others).

[AlbertJP]

@rat4 I also asked clefebvre to look into this. He said that the commit in its current form couldn't be included because of the suspend/hibernate regressions. But I hope #522 will fix that.

[autarkper]

I have opened another issue on these dialogs, concerning their lack of keyboard usability: #717.

[AlbertJP]

In Mint 13's Cinnamon it's now fixed. Or maybe the fix came from some upstream Gnome component.
Close the issue?

I don't think we'll see any more updates to 12's Cinnamon repo package. At least not extensive changes like this one.

[mtwebster]

Closing due to inactivity. If you think this still might be an issue, see the instructions here to try a newer version. If the problem still exists, we'll reopen the issue.
