Should be fixed in redhat-config-users-1.1.4-2. QA, please verify.

Oops. Should be fixed for real with redhat-config-users-1.1.5-2. Sorry about that typo.
Created attachment 89948 [details] redhat-config-users diff
1.1.5-2 is still broken. Diff for fix attached above.
1.1.5-2 behaves correctly for me on my test machine. Can you show me the machine that is having the problem?
redhat-config-users-1.1.5-3 should pull in the fix. Sorry about that.
OK, really not sure what is happening here, but the code is still borked. For some reason the change in mainWindow.py isn't making it into CVS. Here's the snip from the 1.1.5-3 source: for file in files: if os.path.isdir(path + '/' + file): rmrf (path + '/' + file) else:
All right. Please try with 1.1.5-4.
Fix confirmed with redhat-config-users-1.1.5-4.
