2 months ago The panel and thus any in-process applets within it can be run under gdb with a two-step proces:
gdb mate-panel
followed by
run --replace
as arguments are accepted by the run command
For out of process applets, I don't know any way of running applets from terminal. There is the mate-panel-test-applets program, which does execute from terminal. I think it only works with out of process applets. Out of process applets are standalone binaries that need someplace to display in (the panel or the test program) while in-process applets are shared objects.
Not sure how to list all applets in use
Debugging guide request.
How debug mate-panel from terminal? I suppose the system logs and this terminal command should be enough.
mate-panel --replace &Am I right?How list available applets for mate-panel ?
How list active applets on mate-panel ? I'm asking because I often have different menus available (LinuxMint-Menu / Mate-Menu). I don't know what advice to give the user to be sure about which menu he is using.
Can I run any applet from terminal?
Sometimes I try to help users. So I created a general guide. https://github.com/tele1/LinuxTutorial/blob/main/Menu.md I don't like the guide, but I have no idea how to write it better at the moment or what is better than markdown. This is my collection of knowledge. The basics that a user should know. I wanted to include some tips about the Mate environment there as well.
