Description : GNOME (GNU Network Object Model Environment) is a user-friendly set of GUI applications and desktop tools to be used in conjunction with a window manager for the X Window System. The gnome-utils package includes a set of utilities for GNOME, including Gcalc, Gdialog, Gdiskfree, and many others. /usr/bin/gcalc /usr/bin/gcharmap /usr/bin/gcolorsel /usr/bin/gdict /usr/bin/gfloppy /usr/bin/gfontsel /usr/bin/gless /usr/bin/gsearchtool /usr/bin/gtt /usr/bin/guname /usr/share/doc/gnome-utils-1.4.0 /usr/share/doc/gnome-utils-1.4.0/AUTHORS /usr/share/doc/gnome-utils-1.4.0/COPYING /usr/share/doc/gnome-utils-1.4.0/ChangeLog /usr/share/doc/gnome-utils-1.4.0/NEWS [...] etc As you can see, gdialog isn't there, but the description says it should
The description is incorrect; a number of gnome-utils programs were removed due to not working very well, not being maintained, not being useful, etc. Description should be fixed. If gdialog seems to be maintained/working these days we could review it and consider putting it back.
Gdialog works fine for me. I have been using the version included in Ximian's gnome-utils-1.4.0-ximian.10 RPM. Gdialog is very useful when writing Naultilus scripts. For example, I wrote a search and replace script that, when installed in ~/.gnome/nautilus-scripts, allows a user to select several files, right click on them, and perform a search and replace on them. I would like to see gdialog it back in Red Hat' gnome-utils package -- it can really add some power and user-friendliness to GNOME and Nautilus scripts.
Should be in 1.4.0-8
