# rhythmbox/cfg - "Build" settings for package
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
[technotes]
1. The source tarball used by this package was created based on "git"
upstream sources. The sources were obtained as follows:
ocgitfetch --run https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/rhythmbox
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Upstream release 2.95 of "rhythmbox" removed a signficant feature:
the ability to start the program in the system tray. This distro's
version restored the feature for a while. This was done as fol-
lows:
(2a) Add a descendant of Tom Parker's "tray icon" plugin (this was
done at "build" time)
(2b) Activate the "tray_icon" plugin manually, in Rhythmbox, for
each user.
(2c) Start "rhythmbox", in the background, at the appropriate
point in ".xinitrc".
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
3. The preceding approach stopped working after a few "glib*" and/or
"gtk*" upgrades.
So, we switched to the following approach:
(3a) Same as (1a).
(3b) Add a patch to force the "tray_icon" plugin to be activated.
(3c) Write a script named "rhythmbox-start-minimized" which start-
ed "rhythmbox", waited for it to appear, and minimized it.
(3d) Start "rhythmbox" in our desktop, which was based on "fvwm"
at the time, as follows:
File: .../fvwm/preferences/Startup
Code: + I Exec rhythmbox-start-minimized --run
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
4. We disabled putting Rhythmbox in the system tray completely as of
2021. We found that it worked better for this program -- and all but a
few other programs -- simply to minimize and un-minimize the program
as necessary.
