This is against d-feet 0.1.8 in Rawhide - when looking at org.fd.Hal on the system bus I get this ERROR:dbus.proxies:Introspect error on org.freedesktop.Hal:/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/DVD_GCC4244: dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.Hal.NoSuchDevice: No device with id /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/DVD_GCC4244 org.freedesktop.Hal.NoSuchDevice: No device with id /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/DVD_GCC4244 not sure we're doing anything wrong here; the object path is funny though; it contains a single '/': /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_model_CDRW/DVD_GCC4244. Notably you're missing the 'storage_model_CDRW/' element. - would be nice to show services that can be actived; right now I have to do this dbus-send --system --dest=org.freedesktop.PolicyKit / org.freedesktop.DBus.Introspectable.Introspect to be able to execute methods on the PolicyKit service. Should probably use another icon to show a name is activatable (not sure that's a real word) but just not claimed by any process right now. - When executing a method against org.freedesktop.PolicyKit the service decides to kill itself after some time. That's fine, it's per design. However, before that happens I brought up the Execute Method window. As output I get this "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name :1.279 was not provided by any .service files". Suggestion You shouldn't use the (cached) unique name when I've selected a well-known name. - The execute method window needs a little bit of work http://people.freedesktop.org/~david/d-feet-not-enough-room.png - Need line wrapping for the signature (first line) - The "(in python syntax)" hint could be more helpful; I actually had to guess a few times what to put there. Not sure _how_ it could be more helpful without an example (in a smaller font + italics just like in NM http://people.freedesktop.org/~david/Screenshot-Create%20VPN%20connection.png I don't know. - Would be nice s/Close/_Close/ and s/Execute/_Execute/. The former should probably use a stock button anyway. That's it for now.

That was just a quick one off to get it working. Now that I have full type support I'm going to switch that into a listview where each row has a type, varname and editable value column . Complextypes need some thinking though. > - Would be nice s/Close/_Close/ and s/Execute/_Execute/.

Thanks for the input. Send more as you use it.
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
