Ping!! Do you need more info about this regression? do you have gnome-terminal installed? What's the output of gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/applications ? yes. gnome-terminal-2.21.91.1-1.fc9.x86_64 /desktop/gnome/applications/component_viewer: exec = nautilus %s /desktop/gnome/applications/media: needs_term = false exec = rhythmbox /desktop/gnome/applications/help_viewer: needs_term = false accepts_urls = true exec = nautilus /desktop/gnome/applications/browser: nremote = false needs_term = false exec = firefox /desktop/gnome/applications/window_manager: workspace_names = (no value set) current = (no value set) default = (no value set) number_of_workspaces = (no value set) /desktop/gnome/applications/terminal: exec_arg = -x exec = /desktop/gnome/applications/at: /desktop/gnome/applications/at/mobility: startup = false exec = dasher /desktop/gnome/applications/at/visual: startup = false exec = orca Ah, OK, some upgrade managed to mess up my System->Preferences->Personal->PreferredApplications Changing it back to GnomeTerminal restored the correct behavior. Probably the same upgrade also managed to mangle my preferred web browser. Fixed that too. Okay, I'm going to close this CANTFIX, since it's not a gnome-panel issue, we haven't gotten any other user reports, and it will be hard to figure out where the source of the problem came from. |
