Add resident notifications with actions for Gnome 3.6 compat
Posted: Sun Oct 28, 2012 12:48 pm
This functionality probably has uses under other GUIs as well but in my case I'm requesting these features so you can control the playback of guayadeque from the lock screen i.e gdm 3.6
Basically the only thing I see with this ability is rhythmbox but I have confirmed with gnome devs that it should not be very hard to implement this in Guaya. This is what I was told on irc:
"there's a way to make a resident notification, and a way to add actions to notifications"
So with that info I googled on resident notifications and came up with these results, the first one describes a patch and how to talk to libnotify I guess?
https://bugs.launchpad.net/nuvola-player/+bug/968619
These next two might not be of much help but seemed similar, but the one above should be enough to implement resident notifications and actions from what I read. The last one here gives a good example of how rhythmbox does it in the tray, but not the lockscreen though.
