Package: gnome-applets Version: 3.4.1-3 Severity: grave Justification: causes non-serious data loss
Dear Maintainer, The Force-Quit applet for Gnome 3 creates a serious usability issue. After attaching the applet to a panel, attempting to use it will start the applet and show the overlay window. The window states that the user should click on the window they want to quit, or press escape to abort this process. While the pointer on the screen will change as part of this, clicking on any window does NOT close the application. In fact, it appears that all mouse click events are simply "eaten" and the mouse effective does nothing from that point forward. Just as a side note, I also attempted to click the application entry in the bottom panel, just to be sure there wasn't some hidden UI option that might work as well. Pressing Escape to end the process doesn't work either. I have tried this option twice, and each time, the only way to "unlock" the session was to literally abort it by restarting the display manager. While this does not affect the system in a critical way, it does affect the user's session, and I can easily see where it could lead to data loss because the X session was dumped, in turn causing all programs to be killed with it. I have also attempted to see if the program could be killed by switching to a console and doing a ps aux | grep "myusername", but I have not had much luck in locating the application - it implies that the applet may be crashing (or simply running under a different account). At the very least, the applet should respond to the escape key to allow the user to exit back to their session, rather than creating a situation where the mouse pointer is completely ineffective. While this does not address the primary function of the applet (to force-quit another application) it at least functions as a fail-safe in a case where the software could fail, allowing the user to get out of a potentially bad situation. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages gnome-applets depends on: ii gconf-service 3.2.5-1+build1 ii gconf2 3.2.5-1+build1 ii gir1.2-gconf-2.0 3.2.5-1+build1 ii gir1.2-gdkpixbuf-2.0 2.26.1-1 ii gir1.2-gtk-3.0 3.4.2-5 ii gir1.2-panelapplet-4.0 3.4.2.1-3 ii gnome-applets-data 3.4.1-3 ii gnome-icon-theme 3.4.0-2 ii gnome-panel 3.4.2.1-3 ii gvfs 1.12.3-3 ii libatk1.0-0 2.4.0-2 ii libc6 2.13-37 ii libcairo2 1.12.2-2 ii libcpufreq0 008-1 ii libdbus-1-3 1.6.8-1 ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.100-1 ii libgconf-2-4 3.2.5-1+build1 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.26.1-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.33.12+really2.32.4-3 ii libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0 0.10.36-1 ii libgstreamer0.10-0 0.10.36-1 ii libgtk-3-0 3.4.2-5 ii libgtop2-7 2.28.4-3 ii libgucharmap-2-90-7 1:3.4.1.1-2.1 ii libgweather-3-0 3.4.1-1+build1 ii libnotify4 0.7.5-1 ii libpanel-applet-4-0 3.4.2.1-3 ii libpango1.0-0 1.30.0-1 ii libpolkit-gobject-1-0 0.105-3 ii libupower-glib1 0.9.17-1 ii libwnck-3-0 3.4.2-1 ii libx11-6 2:1.5.0-1 ii libxml2 2.8.0+dfsg1-7 ii python 2.7.3~rc2-1 ii python-gi 3.2.2-1 ii upower 0.9.17-1 Versions of packages gnome-applets recommends: ii gnome-media 3.4.0-1 ii gnome-system-monitor 3.4.1-2+b1 ii gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio 0.10.31-3+nmu1 ii policykit-1-gnome 0.105-2 Versions of packages gnome-applets suggests: ii tomboy 1.10.0-2 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
