		+
		+	timeless: oh yeah... the window calls gtk_window_set_type_hint(...., GDK_WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_MENU)
		+
		+	rm_you: yeah but... there must be something special... I tried putting the hildon_hvolumebar_new object into a vbox into a GtkMenu/GtkMenuItem
		+
		+	rm_you: it doesn't work
		+
		+	rm_you: so they have a custom implementation of GtkMenu?
		+
		+	timeless: yep
		+
		+	rm_you: that's... ridiculous
		+
		+	rm_you: is it in the statusbar code? or is it in a library?
		+
		+	timeless: it's in the same file as far as I can tell
		+
		+	rm_you: <_<
		+
		+	timeless: but there's no way I can justify sharing it
		+
		+	rm_you: how long is it
		+
		+	rm_you: <_<
		+
		+	timeless: you should just instrument gtk
		+
		+	rm_you: just tell me as much as you can ABOUT it
		+
		+	timeless: it's not that hard
		+
		+	rm_you: I tried asking people in #gtk+
		+
		+	rm_you: multiple people told me either that what I wanted to do wasn't possible without some serious hackage, or that I would have to rewrite my own gtkmenu system
		+
		+	timeless: I mean, this should be fairly easy... you either use a perl script to rewrite the library entry points
		+
		+	timeless: or use a debugger to dynamically do it
		+
		+	timeless: either way, it's fairly trivial
		+
		+	timeless: all you need is for each gtk method to spit out at entry all strings and all pointers, and at exit to spit out any returned pointers
		+
		+	timeless: from there since everything is a gtk call, you can find out which methods are called in order for each object
		+
		+	rm_you: htm
		+
		+	timeless: it is "serious" hackage, but it's fairly automatable
		+
		+	timeless: so it's not "hard" hackage
		+
		+	timeless: more like "thorough"
		+
		+	rm_you: hrm. I don't think I know enough about GTK to do that though. :(
		+
		+	rm_you: I'll have to find help
		+
		+	rm_you: though duplicating that is ridiculous
		+
		+	rm_you: Nokia has no reason to keep that closed
		+
		+	rm_you: in fact, it should probably be a separate library, eg HildonMenu

what follows is JavaScript notation based on C GObject code.

function SoundWindow() {

var box = new gtk["vbox"];

gtk["container"].add (this, box);

box.pack([volumebar, ...]);

}

SoundWindow.prototype = {

type_hint: GDK_WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_MENU,

name: "hildon-status-bar-popup",

resizable: false,

decorated: false,

/* i think this is the cute border you're asking about, and yes, it

seems like it's just hard coded into the C */

border_width: 20,

keep_above: true

}

fwiw, the same general approach is used by the display applet.
