Description of problem: After recent updates the mini command line and system monitor applets I previously added to the panel would not start at login. I let the system remove them, then tried to add them back to the panel, but nothing happens when I click the "Add" button after selecting an applet. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-panel-2.31.90-1.fc14.x86_64 How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1.see above 2. 3. Actual results: no applets Expected results: applets Additional info:
I've just experimented some more, and this may be isolated to just the mini command line applet. I was able to add the system monitor back to the panel.
The gnome-applets rpm on my system is: gnome-applets-2.31.91-1.fc14.x86_64 I don't know how any of this stuff actually fits together, but if I run /usr/libexec/mini_commander_applet in a terminal, I get a whole panel full of multiple instances of mini command lines, and this on the terminal output: [tom@zooty bin]$ /usr/libexec/mini_commander_applet (mini_commander_applet:2710): GLib-WARNING **: g_set_application_name() called multiple times (mini_commander_applet:2710): GLib-WARNING **: g_set_application_name() called multiple times (mini_commander_applet:2710): GLib-WARNING **: g_set_application_name() called multiple times (mini_commander_applet:2710): GLib-WARNING **: g_set_application_name() called multiple times (mini_commander_applet:2710): GLib-WARNING **: g_set_application_name() called multiple times (mini_commander_applet:2710): GLib-WARNING **: g_set_application_name() called multiple times ^C

The reason why you got a panel full of multiple instances of mini-commander is because you attempted to add multiple mini-commanders to the panel while encountering the bug, and those were all correctly recorded in your configuration, so when you finally ran the applet by hand, it found and added all of the ones you added. So that's not actually part of the bug, I don't think.

Is anybody looking at this? It would be sort of sucky to ship F14 with this regression.
Confirmed still an issue on F14-RC gnome-applets-2.32.0-1.fc14.x86_64
Confirmed an issue with F14 Release. gnome-applets-2.32.0-1.fc14.x86_64
I have the same issue as well. I need to do a /usr/libexec/mini_commander_applet & disown in order to make the mini commander appear in the panel. Don't re-add it to the panel, when it doesn't appear, simply run the commands in a terminal and see if it appears then.
Same over here. 1. After having repeated obove steps several times gnome-applet crashed. 2. To add the mini-commander I needed two steps: 1- right MC, add to panel, select mni-commander, add 2- run /usr/libexec/mini_commander_applet & disown
I am having the same problem. Any word of a fix?
Hi, I have the same problem with mini-commander after install F14. In F13 it was all OK. Please, I need mini-commander. This is very, very useful applet for me. I used it every day a fifty times. Please save this applet to future! (I think Fedora is last distribution where mini-commander occurred.) yum info gnome-applets Name : gnome-applets Arch : i686 Epoch : 1 Version : 2.32.0 Release : 1.fc14 Size : 16 M Repo : installed From repo : fedora Summary : Small applications for the GNOME panel URL : http://www.gnome.org/ License : GPLv2+ and GFDL gnome-applets-2.32.0-1.fc14.i686 Thanks JJ
Confirmed, same here. Thanks for the workaround, but it would be nice if fixed.
Here's a patch that seems to fix it. It appears to be a really odd oversight with the build process. --- /tmp/org.gnome.panel.applet.MiniCommanderAppletFactory.service 2010-11-09 00:15:00.409894500 -0800 +++ /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.gnome.panel.applet.MiniCommanderAppletFactory.service 2010-11-09 00:15:43.329394258 -0800 @@ -1,3 +1,3 @@ [D-BUS Service] Name=org.gnome.panel.applet.MiniCommanderAppletFactory -Exec=/home/carlos/gnome-cvs/libexec/mini_commander_applet +Exec=/usr/libexec/mini_commander_applet
Created attachment 459029 [details] patch to fix mini commander from being added to the panel in F14 I put this patch inline in a comment, but it's kind of hard to read because of the line wrapping and the long path name.
Good job - thank you. btw, Carlos seems to be "all over" the place :-) here is one more in ... /usr/share/gnome/help/gnome-packagekit/es/gnome-packagekit.xml
http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-applets/patch/?id=956297505771e675cd99588f1e2b88f302e9453e The bug has just been fixed upstream, could someone with commit rights please add it to the Fedora package?
Yes, very good job. Thank you very much. JJ :-)
Hi, My enjoyment was previously. Now I have problem with environment in mini-commander applet. In .bash_profile I have PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH. Mini-commander doesn't accept this PATH (/usr/local/bin is OK; I had to make links to /usr/local/bin from $HOME/bin - it isn't practical). In F13 was all OK. Thanks JJ PS: Ought I set up new bug?
Yes, that is most likely an orthogonal issue. I would also recommend to open the bug at Gnome BZ directly given how long it takes to have any reaction from maintainers here even when fix is out there /end sarcasm.

I can confirm: gnome-applets-2.32.0-2.fc14 on Fedora 14 testing works as expected
-- Sorry, not quite. $HOME/bin is included in PATH, however the $HOME/bin is not being searched. Commands have to be prefixed with "bin/".
