Description Michael Schwendt 2011-02-18 12:32:15 UTC

Description of problem:
I've run "rpm -e gnome-games" from an xterm in a running GNOME Shell session after having opened the "Activities > Applications > Games" view.

Switching back to the "Activities > Applications" screen, it is empty. Except for a single icon "Add/Remov..." for the PackageKit-gnome UI. No categories at the right side of the screen to choose from.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
F15 Alpha.TC2 with updates from 20110217

How reproducible:
Likely 100%.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to "Activities > Applications" view
2. click category "Games"
3. go to a terminal window and run "rpm -e gnome-games"
4. return to "Activities > Applications" view
  
Actual results:
Empty/useless screen with no applications and categories other than a single "Add/Remov..." icon.


Expected results:
Obviously, the various app categories at the right border should still be there.

Comment 1 Michael Schwendt 2011-02-18 12:34:07 UTC

"yum -y install gnome-games" doesn't fix it. Logging out now for further testing...

Comment 2 Michael Schwendt 2011-02-18 12:36:38 UTC

Logging back in, "Activities > Applications" is fixed again.
So, how reproducible: 100%

If one is fast enough while the "rpm -e gnome-games" is running, one can observe how the "Activities > Applications > Games" view is emptied and replaced with the single icon.

Comment 3 Owen Taylor 2011-03-28 15:38:32 UTC
