moosic-applet
A gnome applet for controlling Moosic

Moosic is a music player - http://www.nanoo.org/~daniel/moosic/
Gnome is a graphical desktop environment - http://www.gnome.org/

REQUIREMENTS:
* python 2.2.1 or higher
  (note that 2.2.2 has a bug that affects Moosic)
  http://www.python.org/
* gtk-2/gnome-2 bindings for python
  http://www.daa.com.au/~james/software/pygtk/
* Gnome and Moosic, obviously

If you are using Redhat/Fedora: gtk and gnome bindings for python
are split into several different RPM packages.  The exact names of
required packages are:
* pygtk2
* pygtk2-libglade
* gnome-python2-applet

If your version of moosic is older than 1.5.0, you need to use
moosic-applet-0.0.5 or older.  Older versions can be downloaded
from http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~param/software/moosic-applet/

INSTALLATION:
"make install" will install to the default location (/usr)
"make install INSTALL_PREFIX=[dest]" will install to [dest]

NON-STANDARD INSTALLATION NOTES:
Note that you will have to edit GNOME_MoosicApplet.server
if you install MoosicApplet in a directory not in your PATH.
In <oaf_server iid="OAFIID:GNOME_MoosicApplet_Factory" ... >
specify the full path as the value for 'location'

If the INSTALL_PREFIX is different from the Gnome installation prefix,
add $INSTALL_PREFIX/lib/bonobo/servers to your BONOBO_ACTIVATION_PATH

To make the applet visible without BONOBO_ACTIVATION_PATH changes, see:
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2003-January/msg00307.html

USAGE:
The applet will automatically appear in the "Add to Panel"
menu under "Multimedia".  You may need to logout/login before
the applet is available.

USING MOOSIC APPLET AS AN APPLICATION:
If you don't run gnome-panel you can run the applet as an independent
application.  Use the '-app' switch on the command line, as follows:

    $ MoosicApplet -app

Note: This is an experimental feature.  It will crash some old versions
of gnome-python (confirmed to work on version 2.0.0).  The exact command
line option will probably change in a future release to conform to typical
option-naming conventions.
