Description John Dubery 2005-12-30 08:07:15 EST

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-GB; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050922 Fedora/1.0.7-1.1.fc4 Firefox/1.0.7

Description of problem:
For a menu entry that has no icon associated with it, right clicking the entry and choosing "Properties" has no visible effect on the GUI.

Running in a terminal, the following message is seen:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/Alacarte/GnomeFront.py", line 436, in on_editproperties_activate
    self.dialogs.editEntryDialog(item)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/Alacarte/GnomeDialogHandler.py", line 215, in editEntryDialog
    iconButton.set_pixmap_subdir(item.iconPath)
TypeError: GnomeIconEntry.set_pixmap_subdir() argument 1 must be string, not None

This can be made to work by hacking file /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/Alacarte/GnomeDialogHandler.py; the hacked file will be attached.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
alacarte-0.8-1.fc4

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start alacarte
2. Right click a menu entry that has no icon (e.g. aiksaurus)
3. Select "Properties"
  

Actual Results:  Nothing

Expected Results:  A menu entry properties dialog should have appeared

Additional info:

This is on an FC4 system with all possibly relevant updates in place according to yum/yumex

Hack fix of the bug

This is a quick hack but it works - there may be a nicer way of fixing it.

Comment 2 John Dubery 2006-01-02 05:12:25 EST

Note on my hack-fix ... it doesn't fully work. It allows an entry without an 
icon to be opened, but not changed (unless an icon is added as one of the 
changes).

cheers, John

FC3 and FC4 have now been EOL'd.

Please check the ticket against a current Fedora release, and either adjust the
release number, or close it if appropriate.

Thanks.

Your friendly BZ janitor :-)
