Thx
Please elaborate further ...
QBW can monitor DBUS system/session events; these events are fired on the sys-dbus when slider is moved and phone goes LowPow
Code:
signal sender=:1.8 -> dest=(null destination) serial=20336 path=/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_slide; interface=org.freedesktop.Hal.Device; member=Condition
   string "ButtonPressed"
   string "cover"
signal sender=:1.12 -> dest=(null destination) serial=4505 path=/com/nokia/mce/signal; interface=com.nokia.mce.signal; member=display_status_ind
   string "dimmed"
signal sender=:1.12 -> dest=(null destination) serial=4506 path=/com/nokia/mce/signal; interface=com.nokia.mce.signal; member=system_inactivity_ind
   boolean true
signal sender=:1.12 -> dest=(null destination) serial=4508 path=/com/nokia/mce/signal; interface=com.nokia.mce.signal; member=tklock_mode_ind
   string "locked"
signal sender=:1.12 -> dest=(null destination) serial=4509 path=/com/nokia/mce/signal; interface=com.nokia.mce.signal; member=display_status_ind
   string "off"
maybe you can hook to some of this...

Thx NNNY. Will work through these and see what happens. QBW works great - having lots of fun making simple time savers for the desktop.

Ok calm down
I said sorry, I thanked you and I said, that your code is faster. I am still using your code, and I am still looking for a better way to achieve this. As I mentioned I changed your script to change the background via gconftool-2 (I'll post it if you want). It takes less file operation, but it is slower.

I don't know why my first posts should be smalltalk. Your idea is good, but the code is NOT! I had something to say, so I said it. I didn't want to offend you. If you are younger than 18 y i deeply apologize for my rude language. Otherwise behave like an adult.

Yes please, please post your code, We'd appreciate seeing it.

Please explain why the code is not good, I'm not saying it is. It was a quick lash to prove a concept, but how is it bad in your view?

Here is my explanation:

The code seems to run quickly, if you compare two QBWs, one to print out the orientation and a second to copy the file and print the orientation they seem to run as quickly as each other. It’s just the background image takes time to be displayed, this is an OS issue.

My opinion about the delay is probably the operating system taking its sweet time to deal with the event caused by the change of the background image file. As Maemo seems slow at best to register an event I am assuming that this is the cause in the delay. You can also bet that even though the image doesn't need resizing to fit the screen it will be resized taking up yet more time.

I haven’t yet played around with symlinks to see if they are quicker. But if you check what gconftool does, you will find that it will first copy your chosen image to a temporary file, something like /home/user/.backgrounds/.goutputstream-GIHVLV, then it will then process it to correct any size issues, next it has to do a lot of processing to convert what it has created into a PNG file, something like /home/user/.backgrounds/background-4.png.bak, a slow process at best. At this point you are now at the same point where my code will start! gconftool will then delete the original file with a move where as I will delete the original with a copy, my way might take a little longer to do (we are talking milliseconds here).

I welcome constructive criticism, fire away, going blah doesn't help. Oh and - manners are for everyone not just for kids.

gconftool is definitely not the way to go as too much processing is involved, hence the 3 second delay with it.

Hope this explains things. Rant over, happy scripting.

No!No!No!Yes!
While playing around with the orientation QBW I have noticed that the orientation event will sometimes stop, don't know why. If I create another orientation QBW the second one is un-effected as are all other QBWs.
If I enter the Advanced settings and press Run it will work correctly, also if I resize the QBW and press Save & Run it will not run nor will the resize setting get saved!
Hope this helps narrow it down.
My device has been recently reflashed with both images for PR1.3
