[Java-gnome-developer] destroying windows

[Alex M. <ale...@gl...>]

Hi,

i´m not sure how to do the next. I want to have a login window that
when you press OK, dissapears and lets a new window to get the control.
If i try to hide or destroying the login window the application crashes.

Maybe I have to create two different glade sessions for the two different
windows? I attach the glade file to help in see what i try to do. Thanks
in advance.

I was hoping for an answer to this as well.
The only way I found around this problem (and it's not a good one) is to 
load all the windows and just show/hide them, but this means they sit in 
memory and it's really just wrong !
I guess we do need to have multiple glade files.

If you're going to show/hide them anyway, you might as well load them.
Please send examples of your applications crashing - it could be bugs in
java-gnome which we may be able to fix.

Could you please send the output of this crash? It could be a bug in
java-gnome. If you could send your full example program too, it might
help resolve this issue. 

For a HIG-compliant gnome application, the correct way to to handle such
a situation is to create the main window, display it but have it
setSensitive(false). Then have your login dialog as a modal popup
window. See recent releases of the gnome-system-tools as an example.
