Description of problem: After updating to the latest F9 XScreensaver packages, a related entry reappears in "System > Preferences > Look & Feel". Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-screensaver-2.22.1-1.fc9 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Update to xscreensaver-5.06-1.fc9 2. Open "System > Preferences > Look & Feel" menu. Actual results: There are two "Screensavers" entries related to gnome-screensaver and to xscreensaver respectively. Expected results: Only gnome-screensaver preferences should appear. Additional info: I had filed bug 300401 about the same issue. The fix involved updating gnome-screensaver-hide-xscreensaver.menu.
The bug is still present in both of current F9 w/updates and the "koji" tree as of 2008-09-27.
Can we at least get one of them renamed so it's possible to tell which is which in the menu next time it un-hides itself?
The bug is still present in current "rawhide" including xscreensaver-5.07-2.fc10. Note that the xscreensaver-5.07-2.fc10.x86_64 package is not installed, only the additional packages are.
This issue also affects F10 w/updates including xscreensaver-5.08-1.fc10. The global desktop file is part of the base package : $ rpm -qf /usr/share/applications/xscreensaver-properties.desktop $ xscreensaver-base-5.08-1.fc10.x86_64 It seems to me that it should rather be part of xscreensaver-5.08-1.fc10.x86_64, right? Only when installing xscreensaver-5.08-1.fc10.x86_64 as a replacement of g-s-s, this user interface should be exposed in the GNOME menus.
Issue still present for current "rawhide" and corresponding package gnome-screensaver-2.26.1-1.fc11. It has also become an issue on <fedora-test-list>: "Yeah, that's gnome-screensaver versus xscreensaver. Would be nice if there were a way to suppress one if the other is installed, but I'm not sure the .desktop file format is canny enough to do that. - ajax" Reminder: I had filed (resolved) bug 300401 back in 2007 on the same issue. The fix involved updating gnome-screensaver-hide-xscreensaver.menu.
Fixed in gnome-screensaver-2.26.1-2.fc11
Issue is back in gnome-screensaver-2.27.0-2.fc12.
Issue still present for gnome-screensaver-2.27.0-9.fc12.x86_64. Regarding usability, this bug is a real nuisance: there are two screensaver entries in menu "System > Preferences" which is sort of misleading.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle. Changing version to '12'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Issue still present for gnome-screensaver-2.28.3-1.fc12.x86_64.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '12'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
A cursory glance at F13 and F14 indicates that this bug is probably fixed in those releases.
