Subject: not so instant apply
Date: Fri, 13 Apr 2007 14:49:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <461F9873.4050803@redhat.com> (raw)
Noticed this yesterday.
The setup-assistant appears to doing an instant apply - attaching to and
hanging the processes - before the user has indicated that they are
finished. Several problems I can identify here:
- when re-opening a session, processes are being attached _before_ the
user has confirmed the choice
As I pointed out in another thread, the operation and consequence here
is non-trivial, so the user needs to be given the chance to confirm the
selected processes before going further. The problem/consequence is
easily seen by: create a "bash session"; quit frysk; from bash start
frysk in the _forground_; open the "bash session" bringing up the
process-picker; try backgrounding frysk
- instant apply works when there is instant visual feedback
Since the monitor/debugger is not yet displayed (and no please don't
start displaying it), there is no visual feedback, and no reason for the
apply.
