2005-11-21 Brian Cameron <Brian.Cameron@sun.com>
This further improves GDM configuration so that
now only the GDM daemon parses and manages the
configuration file. Most client programs use
the GET_CONFIG command to access needed data.
This simplifies the configuration logic and
puts all configuration parsing in one place
and gets rid of a lot of global variables that
were making the code look messy. This also
gets rid of several places where gnome_config
deprecated functions were being used. I have
cleaned up the code so that the vicious-extensions
code is more localized in gui/gdmconfig.[ch].
Some work is left to do: gdmflexiserver still
uses gnome_config functions and gdmconfig should
use the new functions for reading from the
configuration file. Some compile issues fixed
as highlghted by dmacks@netspace.org to fix
bug #322083.
* NEWS: Fixed comment.
* daemon/gdm.h: Further cleanup of #define's so
that they better match the names of the config
keys.
* daemon/gdm.c: Now GET_CONFIG returns "OK" if
the key is valid but has no value when it
is a string. Now free return value from
gdm_config_to_string.
* daemon/Makefile.am, gui/greeter/Makefile.am:
Now the daemon validates the greeter's theme
directory, so pass the default value into the
daemon and not the greeter.
* daemon/gdmconfig.h: Added gdm_is_valid_key
and corrected prototype for
gdm_set_user_session_lang.
* daemon/slave.c: Fix warning and compile errors.
* daemon/gdmconfig.c: Further fleshed out.
Now it supports a few additional keys I
overlooked. It now validates all keys used
by the slaves. Now handles translated string.
Further refactored the code.
* gui/Makefile.am: Added gdmconfig.[ch] to
common library.
* gui/gdmconfig.[ch]: New functions for
accessing configuration data for slaves.
* gui/gdmXnestchooser.c, gui/gdmlanguages.c,
gui/gdmsession.h, gui/gdmuser.h, gui/gdmwm.c,
gui/misc.c, gui/greeter/greeter_item_capslock.c:
gui/greeter/greeter_item_pam.c: No longer include
vicious.h/viciousui.h, instead gdmconfig.h.
* gui/gdmcomm.c: Fix gdm_check_comm to no
longer require passing in the config file
name.
* gui/gdmcommon.[ch]: Get rid of old
gdm_common_*_same functions that are
replaced with new gui/gdmconfig logic.
Now functions that access config data
use the new functions.
* gui/gdmflexiserver.c: Now displays the
localized string when you use GET_CONFIG
to access a translatable string.
* gui/gdmconfig.c: Now calls update_key in
addition to update_greeters when updating
greeter config data, since the daemon needs
to update the values now when they change.
* gui/gdmchooser.c, gui/gdmdynamic.c,
gui/gdmlogin.c, gui/gdmphotosetup.c,
gui/gdmsession.c, gui/gdmuser.c,
gui/gdm/gdmXnestchooser.c,
gui/greeter/greeter.c,
gui/greeter/greeter_action_language.c,
gui/greeter/greeter_canvas_item.c,
gui/greeter/greeter_item.c,
gui/greeter/greeter_item_customlist.c,
gui/greeter/greeter_item_timed.c,
gui/greeter/greeter_item_list.c,
gui/greeter/greeter_parser.c,
gui/greeter/greeter_session.c,
gui/greeter/greeter_system.c: Updated to
use new configuration functions.
* vicious-extensions/glade-helper.c: Now
include stdlib.h to avoid compiler warnings.
* gui/greeter/greeter.c: Remove unused
gdm_kill_thingies function.
