Detect if an applet has been removed from the panel

[fossfreedom]

Looking to create a test python applet which will invoke an action when the applet is removed from the panel.

Any thoughts how to-do this?

[ikeydoherty]

Hm. Can I ask the use case?

[fossfreedom]

sure.

Trying to find a method to remove a custom keybinding - when the applet is active its easy enough to add the keybinding via the applet init. If the applet is subsequently removed, that keybinding should be removed.

Oh so you're trying to do it during the lifecycle of the applet, not detect other applets? You could hook up the destroy signal and do like a GLib.message() to verify its being invoked?

[fossfreedom]

correct - applet looking after itself.

oddly it doesnt appear that destroy is being invoked on either the applet nor plugin objects.

I agree with @fossfreedom .Can you add method to detect if the applet is deleted from panel?
