RunRev 2.9 beta DP2 & Linux & Accentuated characters
Hi,
I downloaded yesterday the DP2 beta version of RunRev 2.9.
This version run directly under my Mandriva 2007 (The DP1 don't, it will only run if you unset many local system variables...).
BUT,
1) The accentuated characters (é è à ç ù ê ï...) of my French keyboard don't work. I tried to change the "extendkey" to 1/2/3/4/5 without any result.
The DP1 haven't this problem, but my enterprise versions of 2.2.1 and 2.0.1 have a similar problem (I eventually make a "on preopenstack" script for re-mapping the keyboard with the "on keydown")
2) The GTK theme of stack controls don't change if I change it in the Metacity theme switcher (Gnome). All controls look as the "Ora" Mandriva standard theme and don't change as other GTK applications (Abiword, The Gimp...)
Any ideas ?
Thanks
Dan

Hi Dan,
Well, I am glad that DP-2 at least runs without having to unset all the LANG stuff!
Re: your problems
1. I don't know about this one - I've entered it into RQCC database and will look into it for DP-3
2. In order to speed up the system, we cache images of all the controls. When you change theme's this does not effect the images in the cache - thus you will still get the old theme'd controls. I will add code to clear the cache on a theme change in DP-3 ( and enter this in RQCC).
Best Regards,
Tim.

Hi,
I downloaded the DP3 beta version today.
1°) The accentuated characters (é è à ç ù ê ï...) of my French keyboard still don't work. It works only if I unset the LANG stuff. It would be a pain for my end users to run a shell script for unsetting/setting the LANG stuff evry time they run a runrev made application...
On the other side, the DP1 standalone
don't have a such bug. DP2 and DP3 standalones and revolution engines don't let me type accentuated characters.
This is a very disappointing bug...
2°) The GTK theme of stack controls still don't change if I change it in the Metacity theme switcher (Gnome): it makes a "segmentation fault" !!!!!!
It's the first time that I have a seg fault with runrev (and I use it since the old version 1.1).
Please.. please.. correct this bug !!!!

Hi Dan,
Re 1 : We did not have time to look into the accented characters for the DP-3 release --- however, it is on the list of bugs to be fixed before the first RC. I am hoping to get it fixed for the dp-4 release.
Re 2 : Interesting! I tried this on all the versions of linux etc that we have in the office and it worked fine. Could you give me more details? Distro, theme engine etc.. Also, does it happen with any stack or just with a specific stack?
Thanks,
Tim.

Hi Tim,
My distro is: Mandriva 2007.1 Spring Free.
My Theme engine is: Metacity for Gnome 2.18.0
You can see distrowatch for more specifications (I have a standard French localized installation of Mandriva)
I have this bug for a very simple "standalone" stack (a new stack with a button and a field with a scrollbar saved as standalone app). This is a very strange bug !
Regards,
Dan
