Description Kai Thomsen 2007-07-16 00:28:38 UTC
Description of problem:
When the Devhelp extension ("Developer Documentation") is enabled and you enter 
any search term into the applet's search entry, the menu that opens doesn't 
contain an entry for launching Devhelp.

The reason for this is that the Devhelp extension tries to open a file named 
"devhelp.desktop" on initialization, whereas this file is packaged as "gnome-
devhelp.desktop" in Fedora's devhelp RPM ("gnome" being the vendor prefix). The 
extension fails silently and doesn't provide its service.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.19.3-3.fc7

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make sure Devhelp/"Developer Documentation" is enabled in the applet 
preferences.
2. Enter any search term into the applet's input field.
  
Actual results:
The menu that opens doesn't provide a Devhelp entry.

Expected results:
There should be a menu entry for launching Devhelp with the given search term.
