Description of problem: While trying to gather data for bug 906745 I found out (with invaluable help from one of gnome-terminal developers) that the actual problem was not with gnome-terminal itself, but rather with gnome-settings-daemon. To cut a long story short, it's not setting its environment properly, which makes it use a different environment than the user's, and this leads to some things not working right (eg. launching gnome-terminal through a keyboard shortcut is *different* than launching it through alt+f2). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-settings-daemon-3.6.4-3.fc18.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. write a script to output environment vars to a file and bind it to some keyboard shortcut (say, alt+e) 2. login to gnome-shell 3. press alt+e 4. backup the output file 5. run *the same script* through alt+f2 Actual results: environments are different Expected results: the environment should be the same on both cases Additional info: I'm using pt_BR locale for "formats" (LC_NUMERIC, LC_TIME, LC_MONETARY and LC_MEASUREMENT), and these (among others) are only set when the script is run through alt+f2. Please refer to bug filed upstream [https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=693381] for a detailed description with examples.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '18'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 18 is 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 change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. 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.
Fedora 18 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2014-01-14. Fedora 18 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug.
