Comment 1 Owen Taylor 2009-11-03 21:15:51 UTC
Looking at it, the problem is that on_option_toggled() handles both the cube and wobbly settings. When we are setting up the widgets, we first change the value of 'cube' and then the value of 'wobbly', so if we set 'cube' to true, then on_option_toggled() will be called before the wobbly toggle button is set, so we'll think the user has disabled wobbly.

Your fix seems like a reasonable approach to fixing the issue. 

(The other approach I could imagine would be to split on_option_toggled() into an on_cube_toggled() and an on_wobbly_toggled(). But your approach is as good.)

Do you think you could redo it as a proper git patch ?

If you aren't familiar with git: use 'git commit' to commit it locally to a checkout of the desktop-effects git repostory. Make sure you've set your name and email as described in, say, http://help.github.com/git-email-settings/. The commit message should consist of a single short line that summarizes what the commit does, a blank line, then a detailed description of what was changed and (more importantly) why. Then format the commit as a patch using 'git format-patch HEAD -1' and attach the resulting file.

Not sure if we'll be able to get this in right now during the beta freeze. Do you happen to know if this was a regression from F11? It's not apparent to me from reading the code - my guess would that probably it did regress but I'm not completely sure of that.
