NAME
UI::Dialog::GNOME
SYNOPSIS
use UI::Dialog::GNOME;
my $d = new UI::Dialog::GNOME ( title => 'Default title',
height => 20, width => 65 ,
listheight => 5,
order => [ 'zenity', 'xdialog' ] );
# Either a Zenity or Xdialog msgbox widget should popup,
# with a preference for Zenity.
$d->msgbox( title => 'Welcome!', text => 'Welcome one and all!' );
ABSTRACT
UI::Dialog::GNOME is simply another meta-class for UI::Dialog. This class simply has a different order of priority than UI::Dialog and no
console support.
DESCRIPTION
This class is simply a nice way to try and ensure a GNOME based widget set. The editbox() widget is also provided in addition to the stan-
dard widgets as both the XDialog and Zenity backends effectively support it's usage. If you are still using GDialog and not Zenity (which
provides a very nice gdialog wrapper) the editbox() widget will cause your application to die with a "missing method editbox()" error.
