Description of problem: I had this .ppt file and when double clicked I realized I had no openoffice, so I followed the hint to search for an application. Obviously, being openoffice, it took ages to download and install. Somewhere during the process I saw an ugly warning dialog saying that the operation failed because the message bus timed out (although the installation kept going, the original "search" died). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): PackageKit-yum-plugin-0.4.6-2.fc11.i586 PackageKit-glib-0.4.6-2.fc11.i586 PackageKit-gstreamer-plugin-0.4.6-2.fc11.i586 gnome-packagekit-2.27.1-1.fc11.i586 PackageKit-gtk-module-0.4.6-2.fc11.i586 PackageKit-0.4.6-2.fc11.i586 PackageKit-yum-0.4.6-2.fc11.i586 How reproducible: Once, but I suspect always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Double click a file in nautilus that has no handler, in my case a ppt when I had no openoffice installed 2. Search for a handler, accept to install it. 3. Wait until somewhere after a long time, the original "search" notifies you that it failed because of a message bus timeout, but the installation keeps going and ends succesfully. Actual results: A scary message bus timeout -operation failed- message Expected results: No scary message + Info: After ooo-impress was installed, the file did not launch, I suspect this is because the "original operation" (the search) died, so the install was completed but no one was watching it to do something after it.
Hmm, I suspect this will be fixed with the recent timeout fixes in DBus. I'll take a look.
