Hide Forgot
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.7.2) Gecko/20040809 Epiphany/1.3.8 Description of problem: The desktop printing icon is still exists on my panel (nfs home exists for both an FC2 and rawhide install) but when I press it it cannot find tryprint.pl so I get an ugly error dialog. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. log into a rawhide box with an nfs home dir that still has FC2 info on it. 2. Press desktop printing icon. 3. Actual Results: Error dialog stating: Cannot launch icon Details: Failed to execute child process "tryprint.pl" (No such file or directory) appears. Expected Results: List of printers should appear. Additional info: Since tryprint.pl is going away either the icon should not appear on the desktop or tryprint.pl should alias the gnome-printman call.
The problem here is that we'd like to get rid of gnome-print-manager (package printman) entirely. It's really not useful in the new printing paradigm. I'd like not to keep it around just for people sharing NFS homedirs between FC2 and FC3. I'm going to briefly investigate having the icon auto-hide from the panel, and if that doesn't work I'll try to think of something else.
Yeah, this is a general panel bug. Reassigning to the panel; it needs to give us some way to have icons not appear if their executable doesn't exist. Probably the panel shouldn't be copying .desktop files in the first place...
colin: didn't we talk about keeping around a tryit.pl somewhere and have it just launch something reasonable? Otherwise, I think just close this as WONTFIX
Mark: not sure what it should launch. I guess it could make eggcups display your job list, but then it's just kind of redundant. Hopefully we can get GNOME upstream to do the fork-configuration-and-merge-from-previous thing for 2.10. When that's done we prune dead launchers.
