I only tested in x86_64 platform, so I can't confirm whether this works in other platforms. This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 11. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '11'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 11 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-06-25. Fedora 11 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
Description of problem: gnome-panel cannot access desktop file that has launcher_location containing a subdirectory but not a full pathname. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.26.2-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use command line in /bin/bash to set launcher_location: for schema in `gconftool --all-entries /schema/apps/panel/objects | awk -F= '{print $1}'`; do gconftool-2 --apply-schema /schemas/apps/panel/objects/${schema} /apps/panel/objects/kontact_launcher/${schema} gconftool-2 -s /apps/panel/objects/kontact_launcher/object_type -t string "launcher-object" gconftool-2 -s /apps/panel/objects/kontact_launcher/toplevel_id -t string "top_panel" gconftool-2 -s /apps/panel/objects/kontact_launcher/launcher_location -t string "kde4/Kontact.desktop" 2. Note that kde4/Kontact.desktop is a subdirectory path of /usr/share/applications 2. Logout and login Actual results: ~/.xsession_errors has the following error message, (gnome-panel:3586): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_key_file_load_from_file: assertion `file != NULL' failed Unable to open desktop file kde4/Kontact.desktop for panel launcher And no Kontact icon appears in the desktop panel Expected results: The icon should appear in the desktop panel. Additional info: I use a script to generate my personal desktop panel setup (as seen in the above command lines) every time I install a new Fedora. Fedora 10 didn't have this problem but Fedora 11 does. If I use the full path, /usr/share/applications/kde/Kontact.desktop, it works. If gnome-panel doesn't find a prefix '/', it should assume it refers to a subdirectory of /usr/share/applications, as it did with Fedora 10.
