ROX-Lib 2.0.5

ROX-Lib 2.0.5 (contains shared code used by other ROX applications) has
been released.

For more information, including package downloads, see:

  http://roscidus.com/desktop/ROX-Lib

Changes in 2.0.5:

General:

- Added a 'parent' argument to the SaveBox constructor (Thomas Leonard).

- Python 2.4 is now the base version, so test against that.

- Fix example Menu definition. Allow option widgets to expand vertically by
  setting the _rox_lib_expand property to True (Stephen Watson, suggested by
  Thomas Leonard).

Bugfixs:

- Fix scaling of MIME icons (Stephen Watson)

- Work-around possible PyGTK bug (Lars Hansson and Tony Houghton, reported by
  Peter): "assertion `GTK_IS_TREE_SELECTION (selection)' failed"

- Added an assertion to detect a mysterious error (Thomas Leonard; reported by
  Carl Bolduc).

After upgrading to Ubuntu/hardy, I see the same problem. Should be
fixed now; please test by pulling from:

 git://repo.or.cz/rox-filer.git master

    Bugfix: arrow keys didn't work in details view

    GTK likes to select rows as you move over them. Since we don't want that,
    ROX-Filer marks the rows as unselectable. However, newer versions refuse
    to move the cursor at all if the selection behaviour is disabled.

    Reported by Dennis Nezic and others.

ROX-Filer 2.7 - please test!

We're about ready for another release. Please test it! You can get the
latest copy like this:

 $ git-clone git://repo.or.cz/rox-filer.git

(you'll need the "git" or "git-core" package installed; your
distribution should have it)

If you've already cloned the repository in the past, you can update it
with 'git-pull' (this is quicker than getting a new copy).

To run it:

$ rox-filer/ROX-Filer/AppRun -n

To make it your default version (for Zero Install users), ensure "Help
test new versions" is on, and do:

$ 0launch --feed rox-filer/ROX-Filer.xml

To see the changes in full since 2.6.1, do:

$ git-log v2.6.1..

In particular, changes to the translation system and to the panel
configuration need testing.

Changes since 2.6.1

This broke the appearance of my filer windows since
  bg_pixmap[NORMAL] = "tile_1.xpm"
doesn't work anymore.  I tried
  bg_pixmap[BASE] = "tile_1.xpm"
but that isn't valid.  I vote for reverting this change as I really dislike
the new appearance.

(Although what's really odd is starting with rox -n it works, until I switch
to details mode then back again and am left with the boring white
background.)

Build fails on Solaris, because libintl isn't linked in.  I'm looking at configure.in now.

Oops, I had commented out a gtk_paint_flat_box() in collection_expose(). 
Uncommenting it should make bg_pixmap[NORMAL] work again (it does for 
me). Sorry about the mess.

(I've tried to send a patch using git-send-email, but I might have 
botched it up. Anyway, the fix is at http://repo.or.cz/w/rox-filer/ma.git)

Ah, this is not enough; using it unconditionally will result in using the 
bg[] colour instead of base[] (when you don't have a background pixmap). 

If you uncomment gtk_paint_flat_box() in collection_expose() and modify 
it to look like this:

	if (widget->style->bg_pixmap[GTK_STATE_NORMAL])
		gtk_paint_flat_box(widget->style, widget->window,
				   GTK_STATE_NORMAL, 
				   GTK_SHADOW_NONE, &event->area,
				   widget, "collection", 0, 0, -1, -1);

then the background pixmap should show if you have one, and the base 
colour if you have no background pixmap.

If this does not work for you (or anybody else), or if it's considered a 
bad hack, then yes, do revert my original change.

I'm really sorry for all this mess, I'm too quick to hit the send 
button...

That works fine, thanks.

Applied, along with Andras's patch for the background. Thanks!
