Description Scott R. Godin 2008-01-24 21:00:55 UTC
Description of problem:

Usability issue: all the plugins that are available from Edit>Plugins have the 
'configure' button available/enabled even if there are no configurable 
options. 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
evolution-2.12.3-1.fc8

How reproducible:
every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open Edit:Plugins
2. click the 'configure' button on any plugin that has no configurable options 
(most of them)

  
Actual results: 
nothing happens, and user is left wondering if there was an error or failure 
to either display an error message, a warning that there are no config 
options, or whether there are no config options


Expected results:
configure button should 'grey out' when any plugin has no configure dialog for 
options

Thanks for report. This has been fixed upstream, see [1], but wasn't pushed to
stable, so it missed Fedora 8. Anyway, in [2] this was dropped and new Evolution
(stable since 2.22 (version synced with gnome)) uses configuration tab, not the
button.
