Description Vitezslav Humpa 2011-07-20 08:35:41 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #663494 +++

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 :)
