Description of problem: The modemlights defaults in F8 are mostly unreasonable, especially the default colors which are all black, making them unreadable. Some of the checkboxes are also set to unreasonable values. For anyone who wants the default values from FC6, here they are: General tab: Display: Update every 5 seconds Show connect time and throughput (checked) Blink connection status when connecting (unchecked) Connections: Connection command: /sbin/ifup ppp0 (not "pppon" which doesn't work) Disconnection command: /sbin/ifdown ppp0 (not "pppoff" which doesn't work) Confirm connection (checked) Colors tab: Receive Data: Foreground: #FF0000 Background: #4D0000 Send Data: Foreground: #00FF00 Background: #004D00 Connection Status: Connected: #00FF00 Disconnected: #004D00 Connecting: #FEF06B Text: Foreground: #00FF00 Background: #000000 Outline: #004D00 Advanced tab: Verify owner of lock file (checked) Use ISDN (unchecked) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-applets-2.20.0-8.fc8 How reproducible: always
Still exists in F9 with gnome-applets-2.22.1-2.fc9.i386, bumping to F9. Presumably it still exists in F8, which most people are still using. Is there an easy way to indicate that a bug applies to multiple versions, or should I copy and paste the whole body of the bug report to make separate bug reports for each version? Or should it be assigned to rawhide?
This happens because the %post script doesn't bother to install the modemlights defaults, as it does for all the other applets. Running something like this fixes it for me: GCONF_CONFIG_SOURCE=`gconftool-2 --get-default-source` gconftool-2 --makefile-install-rule /etc/gconf/schemas/modemlights.schemas Bug seems to persist in F10.

I think what happened here is at one point we stopped building the applet, but then brought it back (see bug 301601), but we forgot about the schemas when we brought it back.
Oops. That'll be my fault then; sorry.
fixed, marking MODIFIED for a future update

Verified that all the default settings now are the same as the ones I posted above for FC6, except for the text background color which seems to randomly change. If I go into the modemlights preferences to check what the text background color is, then close the preferences, then open and check again, the last two characters have randomly changed, for example #7F0084 #7F0035 #7F00B4 . . . What's up with that? Is it supposed to be random?
If I explicitly set the text background color (by clicking "OK" instead of "Cancel" in the "Pick a Color" window), then it seems to stick. However, if I remove the modemlights applet from the panel, then add it again, then check the text background color, it again has a (somewhat) random value - I always see the first 4 characters as 7F00, with the last two characters random.
Probably some memory corruption bug. should be filed as a separate issue.
Can you reproduce it? I have no idea which component to file this under.
gnome-applets. I haven't tried to reproduce it, but I'll clone the bug for you.
