From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.0 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020408 Description of problem: The mini_commander_applet applet ignores the background color preference set by the user in its 'preferences' window. No matter what color is selected, the backgorund will be white. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.add a mini-commander applet to a gnome-panel (found among 'utility' applets) 2.right click, open the preferences window 3.set any color but white as background color Actual Results: background color remains white. Expected Results: background color changes to the user selected one. Additional info: The foreground color works as expected. Default setting has black background and white foreground, making the text invisible. Fresh 7.3 installation, occurs with or without nautilus.
Weird. Re-installing 7.3 from scratch (due to clumsy parted usage...) resulted in mini-commander functioning properly. The problem might depend on some obscure panel-wm-nautils configuration. Reproduction info is therefore not as precise, but I think it's still a bug.
Appears to work in Rawhide, and the prefs storage code is quite different, so it's unlikely to have the same corner case failures (if that's what this was).
