I wanted to add the ability to configure a widget I was working on. Low and behold the sample code from Maemo.org doesn’t tell you how to do this. I downloaded the source for a widget I use which I know has a settings dialog. Turns out you need to do the following within **_plugin_init():
hd_home_plugin_item_set_settings (&self->parent, TRUE);
g_signal_connect (&self->parent, "show-settings", G_CALLBACK (BUILD_CONFIG_UI_CALLBACK), self);
and inside your build config put up a dialog
GtkWidget *dialog = gtk_dialog_new_with_buttons ("Personal Dataplan Monitor Settings",
Not so bad, right? Now if only it were included in the tutorials…
