mail applet update interval keeps resetting

First of all, I'm really, really new at python, but I'm a developer, so I started digging on this bug to try to learn a bit.

The attachment is the mail.py file that fixes this bug (I've tested it and it's working)

Please comment anything you want, and remember I don't know python, I'm just a learner :)

I'm sorry, but I've never made a patch before. Here it is

You can generate a patch by calling bzr diff applets/maintained/mail/mail.py in your checkout/branch of awn-extras.

I think you should change the body of changed_timeout_cb to:
value = spinbutton.get_value()
self.awn.settings["timeout"] = value
self.timer.change_interval(value * 60)

Yeah, you're right, that should update the timeout without restarting the applet.

As I said, I'm really new at this and I'm not using any revision control system (yet). I'm used to work with subversion, but I'm not really familiar with linux repositories. If you could help me with that I would be very grateful.

Anyway, thanks for reviewing the code, I attach the modified patch (made using diff)

You can do bzr branch lp:awn-extras or bzr checkout. Then you can do bzr stat to see what has changed. bzr log and bzr diff are also quite useful. To be on-topic: I think more elements in the preferences window aren't working anymore. setup_preferences() should be refactored to use the config binder (see setup_preferences() in for example weather/weather.py)

Fixed in revision 1327.
