Every once in a while my machine runs stuff in the background, like backups, db dumps and whatnot. This obviously causes performance issues at times, but among other things I don’t want to shutdown during these processes.
So I created a simple status icon to warn me if one of those processes were executing so I wouldn’t shutdown the machine, and it also will disable hibernate/suspend.
I figure I’d share it with the world.

I needed a hbox that would automatically take children widgets from one row and put it into another row depending on the width of the widget. This is similar to how html elements are handled on a web page.
The desired result was to basically make a crumb/tag list with a close button that you could easily remove elements from.

This snippit of code will restart/reload your python/pygtk app when you log out so you don’t have to keep restarting it.
import gnome.ui
gnome.program_init('program name', "1.0")
client = gnome.ui.master_client()
command = os.path.normpath(os.path.join(os.getcwd(), sys.argv[0]))
client.set_restart_style(gnome.ui.RESTART_IF_RUNNING)
try: client.set_restart_command([command] + sys.argv[1:])
except TypeError:
client.set_restart_command(len(sys.argv), [command] + sys.argv[1:])
client.connect('die', gtk.main_quit)

Anyone that’s ever used treeview, might understand my frustration.
I really don’t understand the reasoning behind forcing people to use cellrenders.
