no cairo-dock applet

you should report this bug on cairo dock

Now it is registered, but I am getting the following...

$ /usr/share/cairo-dock/plug-ins/Dbus/third-party/GnoMenu/GnoMenu

gconf backend
>>> applet registered.
>>> INIT
Traceback (most recent call last):

Hi,
I've posted that on Ubutuforums.org some while ago, I thought you would read it but seems not.
so here is a rewriting of the Gnomenu applet for Cairo-Dock
I've cleant the code and optimized it, and used the latest functions of the DBUS API.
Please use this code instead.

Thanks.

thanks i already posted a fix, but im unshure where the applet should be installed, right now i install the applet to /usr/share/cairo-dock/plug-ins/Dbus/third-party , however i noticed that there is also a folder called /usr/share/cairo-dock/third-party in my system

what is the correct folder to install these applets?

I'm not getting either set to work.

I've placed both in ~/.config/cairo-dock/third-party/GnoMenu, in addition to the default install location mentioned earlier. I get something slightly different with Fab's (see below). Seems it doesn't like `Method "GetAll" with signature`, as it tries to load the icon. Can either of you reproduce? and if not what versions are you running?

I lied, seems I overlooked it in the accessories menu. It works, and works good. I Just deleted my files from ~/.config/cairo-dock/third-party and restart cairo-dock and it's still there. I am assuming the plugin has to register every time? meaning the location @ /usr/share/cairo-dock/plug-ins/Dbus/third-party/GnoMenu is fine?

Seems the errors relating to the icon are not show stoppers. I can see all icons fine.

on a separate note, I was initially disappointed with the load speed of this menu, but once paired with cairo-dock it is lighting fast. THANKS you two!, and sayonara Gmenu!

i guess you need to update your cairo dock

about the load speed , the very first time you launch it it starts caching images and icons

so the second time you launch it its much more fast

yeah, no. First time issue is not what I'm talking about. This was every time when running in window or gnome panel. It would take about 3 seconds for the menu to appear, time after time. There was no hard drive activity so I know it was already cached.

Cairo-dock does it right though, first time and every time thereafter. It may have something to do with running openGL.

yes , the panel code is a bit more complicated to load
