A screenshot to show what I mean.

There's also no way (The X at the top-right of the widget) to remove a desktop
widget, though you can drag them around.

I'm starting to think that something is very wrong with my target, maybe
because the installation script replaced an existing target of the same name
(after asking me). Could someone confirm that they see what I see?

I see the same here (fresh installation to custom path on amd64).

Jan Arne commented in the internal ticket:
"I think it works like expected. When there is no widget available that button
is not displayed. --> wontfix"

No, in this case I have installed a widget - this example one that I am working
on:
https://garage.maemo.org/svn/maemoexamples/branches/fremantle-standalone-examples/example_desktop_widget/

Maybe there's something wrong with how my build files install it? I am
admittedly not seeing any such "Add Widget" button in my secret internal
version of the SDK either. CCing Jan Arne here, because he has tried earlier
versions of this example before.


And there's definitely no "settings" tool button, and no X button to remove the
desktop widget. I know what to expect because I _am_ seeing those in my secret
internal version of the SDK.

Yes but that widget is already selected (at least it is visible on the
Desktop). Or is there another unselected widget installed?

"Add widget" is only visible when there are still unselected widgets available.

That seems to be a problem only with the beta SDK.

Oh, yes, thanks you are right. I do see the "Add Widget" button in the Beta SDK
if I remove the widget by editing ~/.config/hildon-desktop/home.plugins.
I didn't know that the UI restricted us to one instance of each desktop widget
per desktop.

In case you are wondering how I ever added the widget without seeing that "Add
widget" button:

Retitling accordingly.

Forwarding internal comment:

"Updated hildon-themes-devel package in the public SDK repository. I checked
that the X button appears. Please verify."

Yes, that's fixed now by doing an apt upgrade in the Beta SDK. Thanks very much
to whoever fixed it.

Thanks for verifying.

Comment 11 Andre Klapper 2009-07-14 13:44:48 UTC

Fix should be included in Fremantle SDK beta 2 hence updating Target Milestone.
