xfconf: FFI bindings to xfconf

Summary ======= Haskell bindings to XFCE 4.8 xfconf settings daemon. Original xfconf API documentation can be found on:	http://docs.xfce.org/api/xfconf/ Requirement =========== GHC and xfconf-devel/libxfconf obviously :) You will need a fairly new version of haddock too (>= 2.8). Cabal should take care of the rest. Status ====== Presently, the whole thing is (almost) no more hackish. The system was integrated with cabal, a set of QuickCheck tests prove the storing and retrieving of large data sets to work properly and the XfconfChannel* objects inherit from regular gtk2hs-glib.GObjects. Only Tests/TestGlib.hs appears broken. Example ======= An application of this library can be found with hThemes[0], a small utility to quickly save and load pre-configured xfconf settings (notably wallpapers, gtk+2 & xfwm4 themes). [0]: https://patch-tag.com/r/obbele/hThemes/home How to build ============ Just try this:	bash $ make # shortcut for cabal configure -f buildTests # and cabal build How to use the Tests/*.hs binaries ================================== Those tests require a working version of XFCE >= 4.8, as well as the haskell packages test-framework, test-framework-hunit, HUnit, test-framework-quickcheck2 and QuickCheck. The demo program requires the haskell binding for gtk. You can ask cabal to build it for you by specifying the flag "buildTests":	bash $ cabal configure -fbuildTests	bash $ cabal build	bash $ ./dist/build/tests/tests	bash $ ./dist/build/testGlib/testGlib	bash $ runghc Demo/Demo.hs Or you can just quickly run them with one of the following shortcuts:	bash $ make test(s) # run with 500 test samples	bash $ make testGlib # test glib signals # (need a -threaded binary)	bash $ make demo # run the small xfconf bindings demo You're welcomed to report any suggestions / bug reports to john obbele AT gmail. © Copyright 2010-2011 John Obbele.
