From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.0rc1) Gecko/20020417 Description of problem: With rp3 run as a GNOME applet on a panel, certain activities* cause rp3 to log off the Net (call ifdown). * e.g., - move other applets around that cause rp3 applet to relocate. - have large tasklist on same panel and grow to overfill panel (this is when I first saw the problem, with lots of browser windows open). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run rp3 applet 2. dial up via rp3 3. drag other applets on panel around (using shift &/or ctrl) Actual Results: Applets all move correctly; at some point, dialup connection is lost. Expected Results: Applets all move correctly. No logout. Additional info: I have finally tracked this down: there is a 'cancel dialup upon logout' option which seems nice & safe & I use. However, it is checked for in rp3/appapplet.c:session_save_applet(). This routine, if the option is set, issues an ifdown. However, the routine can seemingly be called upon rearrangement of the parent panel's applets, and so does *not* want to be logging the user off the Net.
Iâm going to close this; dinât realise it was still hanging around. Pretty obsolete my now.
