Ebuild for mozilla-bonobo-0.4.0. (cool piece of software!) Not sure which portage category this goes under, net-www I think. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Created attachment 18653 [details] mozilla-bonobo-0.4.0 ebuild
Created attachment 27345 [details] updated ebuild to handle gconf Correctly handles gconf stuff
I made a new version of this ebuild to correctly install the schema in gconf. Should work now. Based on previous submission.

foser, is this something I should put in portage?
dunno what it's quality is now, but it used to be 'not quite ready yet' (0.4.0). I wouldn't suggest it to be available unmasked at this point. If you want to maintain it, your choice. Anyway, it can be useful, but most of the stuff it can handle -i think- should not be shown embedded in a browser. The ebuild itself should probably use the gnome2 eclass
I'm a little worried by the slow pace of development, which held me back from importing this initially... although 0.4.1 is out there doesn't seem to be any indication of its existence on the website, and for 0.4.0 at least there seemed to be some serious problems limiting its usefulness (most annoyingly not being able to embed gpdf)

I was trying this out at work early this spring, and it does render things inline, yey. however it fails to show or inherit any controls, so the whole point of just showing the inline rendered PDF's first page only, with only keyboard access to other functions, makes it quite a bit less useful. I have some hopes for this project, but right now I do not believe in it (0.4.0 was tested)
you can use the Page Up and Page Down keys (after clicking into the control to give it focus) to change pages. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/moz-bonobo-list/2003-10/msg00013.html
I know I can use the keyboard controls, however, I wanted to point out that it might not be the best solution because unlike other bonobo aware systems (nautilus comes to mind) it cannot inherit the controls as well.
i personally consider mozilla-bonobo a dead end & suggest this bug gets discarded until at least some significant upstream activity is visible (which i doubt will happen).
I concur
