OTHER COMMENTS:

I wrote tethermon and it appears to be the first attemp at a python status area
plugin. following the tutorial, I can get it to run after moving the desktop
file into position, but after a reboot the plugin doesn't start. i have to move
the desktop file out and in again to trigger it.

Comment 1 Philip Langdale (reporter) 2010-02-09 20:23:23 UTC

it's a race condition between my plugin and a dbus service.
