Description Iain Nicol 2010-12-15 23:23:50 UTC
Description of problem:
The policykit patch causes minor UI issues.

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open gnome-system-monitor
2. Switch to the Processes tab
3. Click on the View menu
  
Actual results:
a) You cannot click on the My Processes menu item, despite being on the Processes tab.  You can only click on View | My Processes after selecting a process.
b) You can click on the View | Open Files menu item, despite no process being selected.  When you click this menu item, a warning is printed to the terminal.

Expected results:
a) The My Processes menu item should be enabled
b) The Open Files menu item should not be enabled because, reading the help text, it is designed for an individual process only.

Additional info:
This issue doesn't exist upstream.  It's caused by the polkit patch.  Look at lines 786 to 800 in the following file: <http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=gnome-system-monitor.git;a=blob;f=polkit.patch;h=f56267009dc7bc59abbba3767b804b3c15de05bd;hb=aca6759145fa02380dd7d1762cdb06195d19ec1f#l786>

I'd create a patch but, honestly, patches to patches confuse me :)

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-16 20:31:43 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.  At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this 
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen 
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached 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, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that 
version of Fedora.

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:
