Description of problem: When logging in into a gnome session, system-config-printer-applet creates links in /tmp to each printer in system (4bc5a897b4aed -> /etc/cups/ppd/e120n.ppd). But these links are not removed when logging out, so /tmp is filled after some time with such garbage. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): system-config-printer-1.2.0-12.fc13.i686 How reproducible: Each time I login in Gnome Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open a Gnome session 2.Logout 3. Actual results: The links in /tmp to /etc/cups/ppd/<printer>.ppd are not removed. Expected results: Links are removed Additional info: I removed the notification area from the gnome panel after F13 installation
I'm not able to reproduce this. What does 'lpstat -l -t' say?

Please try this: 1. Quit the printer applet (if the icon is not showing, "echo . | lp -H hold" to create a held job, then right-click and Quit 2. Remove the temporary files 3. Now start the applet again: Alt-F2 to get a command line, then enter 'system-config-printer-applet' Are there temporary files created? 4. Now Quit the applet again If there were temporary files created, are they still there?
No temp files are created after quitting the applet after step 3.
It's something else creating them when you log in then. Oh, do you have the hp-systray thing running or something?
I regret, but none of such stuff.
OK, please re-open if you find which application is causing it.
By using auditd, I found out that the culprit is */usr/bin/gcm-apply*, which each time I login creates such links.
Cool use of auditd :-) gcm-apply is part of gnome-color-manager. I've fixed this upstream in commit 1b574cd.
Tim, thank you for your support.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 13. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '13'. 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 13'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 13 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
Fedora 13 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2011-06-25. Fedora 13 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
