Mise à jour du trombi de GNOME-FR

Ayant eu la bonne idée de suggérer à Vincent une mise à jour du trombinoscope de GNOME-FR, me voilà en charge de cette délicate mission.

Si vous êtes un habitué du canal IRC ou participez d'une façon ou d'une autre à GNOME-FR, n'hésitez pas et rejoignez le merveilleux trombi. Si vous êtes déjà dessus mais désirez mettre à jour vos informations (changement de nick, de photo, de nom (?!)) c'est également l'occasion.

Pour ce faire, envoyez moi un mail à cassidy@fosdem.org avec votre nom, prénom, nick et photo. Afin de minimiser les changements, j'enverrai le patch et les photos en une fois. Essayez donc de m'envoyer vos infos pour avant le 18 juin si possible.

Graphical WHOIS support in XChat-GNOME

A lot of XChat-GNOME users often complain than there is no way to perform a "graphical" WHOIS. I never liked the xchat-gtk way to do that: a context menu is really not a place where to put this kind of information. It would be more coherent and GNOME spirit to use a tooltip like in Gajim or Gaim. Unfortunately GTK+ doesn't support tooltip in GtkTreeView actually. But thanks to David Trowbridge[1] we have now a SexyTreeView widget in libsexy. Its API is very sexy and with just one signal[2] and one callback, we have a very nice result. Of course it's a temporary solution until GTK+ implement this properly.

So i use this wonderful widget and implemented last night the "graphical WHOIS" in the user list treeview. It's commited in XChat-GNOME SVN so don't hesitate to test it and give us feedback[3]. There's still a little bug and so tooltips aren't displayed with users in the bottom of the treeview.

The next step will be to add this tooltip in the main conversation window (probably using a SexyTooltip widget) but it'll need a little bit more work.

Notes

[1] who is also XChat-GNOME's maintainer

[2] You are the signal!

[3] You'll need libsexy 0.1.6
