Four accounts distinguished only by a line of small grey text are four rows that have to be read rather than recognised. GOA already knows what each one is. It hands back a serialised GThemedIcon -- ". GThemedIcon goa-account-google goa-account goa …" -- a preference-ordered fallback chain. The helper passes the whole chain on rather than resolving it, because which of those names exists is a property of the icon theme in use and not something a python script talking to D-Bus should be deciding. The page walks the chain and takes the first name the active theme actually has. Both simpler readings were wrong and looked right: taking the first name blindly assumes it resolves, and taking the last as a fallback assumes the most generic name is the most likely to exist. On Adwaita the tails of these very chains -- "mail", "goa-symbolic" -- do not exist at all, so a miss would have drawn nothing. Checked by asking Quickshell.iconPath directly, which returns empty for a name the theme lacks; the fallback is avatar-default-symbolic, which is present. SettingsCard grew an optional icon for this. It is empty by default and the header lays out exactly as before when unset, so no other card moves. Last-sync is not here because there is nothing to show: GOA exposes no sync-related property at all, on any of these accounts. Better to say so than to invent a timestamp from when the page last refreshed. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01BRvzt4H8XXLPVH5MyYdk9L
Panama
Formerly Sunhat. A personal config for Fedora, with the intention of helping a user set up their Fedora system with one command.
git clone https://git.gbrown.org/gib/Panama.git ~/.local/share/Panama
~/.local/share/Panama/install
install runs everything in setup/scripts/ in order:
| Script | Does |
|---|---|
install-packages |
Repos (RPM Fusion, Terra, Hyprland COPR), then the four package lists in setup/packages/ |
link-dotfiles |
Symlinks config/dot/<name> → ~/.config/<name> |
change-settings |
Copies config/copy/ over /, applies gsettings, enables user services |
Existing configs are moved to config/old/ rather than overwritten.
Desktops
Panama configures two desktops that coexist. Both sessions stay available in GDM, so you can switch back and forth while you settle in.
GNOME
The original setup: Forge for tiling, Dash-to-Dock, Openbar, Vitals,
AppIndicator support. Configured through config/dot/forge/ and gsettings.
Hyprland
A from-scratch replacement built to reproduce the GNOME setup closely enough that muscle memory transfers — same keybinds, same panel contents, same dock, same Tokyo Night Moon palette.
| Piece | What it is |
|---|---|
config/dot/hypr/ |
Compositor config. Lua, not hyprlang — see its README |
config/dot/quickshell/ |
The shell: bar, dock, Continuum overview, Settings, Screen Intelligence, focus sessions, quick settings, notifications, screenshot UI |
config/dot/vicinae/ |
Raycast-style launcher, themed |
config/dot/uwsm/ |
Session environment (see the uwsm caveat in the hypr README) |
config/dot/wofi/ |
Fallback launcher, in case the shell fails to start |
config/dot/xdg-desktop-portal/ |
Portal backend routing |
Start here: config/dot/hypr/README.md — it
covers the Lua migration, the uwsm environment gotcha, the HDR decision, the
full keymap, and troubleshooting.
