Heya,
There's no on_mouse_over() callback listed in the wiki: does it mean it doesn't exist? |

yep
this is because it would be quite expensive over Dbus (and also no applet has ever needed it, this is quite an intrusive behavior IMHO)
what did you want to do ? |

Well, in case of errors, i don't want to bother the user too much. So i send a dialogue and put and emblem.
But if the user has missed the dialogue and the error message, i wanted him/her to see it on mouse over the icon.
But it's not essential, perhaps i can add the message to the label or something. I will think of an alternative. |

what is usually done is diaplying a message for a given time (depending on the message length and its importance), and either change the icon (or set an emblem), or trigger an animation (with the DemandAttention method)
you could also change the icon's label to display some information on hovering the icon. |
