Problems with GNOME Panel applet execution

Question

I'm developing a GNOME Panel applet for GNOME 3 (with D-Bus) in Python.

I'm having a problem with this, when I open the Add to panel dialog, my applet appear, but when I select it and press on Add, GNOME Panel never launch my executable script that contain the applet code (the file has execution permissions). When I execute the script manually, the added applets works fine.

I have currently installed the panel-applet file in /usr/share/gnome-panel/4.0/applets and the DBus service file in /usr/share/dbus-1/services.

If helps, those files are the following:

/usr/share/gnome-panel/4.0/applets/org.gnome.panel.applet.DynamicSeparatorApplet.panel-applet

[Applet Factory]
Id=DynamicSeparatorAppletFactory
Name=Dynamic Separator Applet Factory
Location=/usr/lib/dynamic-separator-applet/dynamic-separator-applet
Description=Dynamic Separator Applet Factory

[DynamicSeparatorApplet]
Name=Dynamic Separator
Name[es]=Separador Dinámico
Description=Create a separator with configurable size
Description[es]=Crea un separador con tamaño configurable
Icon=dynamic-separator-applet
BonoboId=OAFIID:GNOME_DynamicSeparatorApplet

/usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.gnome.panel.applet.DynamicSeparatorAppletFactory.service

[D-BUS Service]
Names=org.gnome.panel.applet.DynamicSeparatorAppletFactory
Exec=/usr/lib/dynamic-separator-applet/dynamic-separator-applet

Anyone have a suggestion?

Answer 1

I found the solution.

In the D-Bus service file, I have Names key, and should be Name, so, the correct service file should be:

[D-BUS Service]
Name=org.gnome.panel.applet.DynamicSeparatorAppletFactory
Exec=/usr/lib/dynamic-separator-applet/dynamic-separator-applet
