I had not properly quit tasque, it turns out. It had minimized to the tray. I quit it from there and started it again from the terminal. It was still grayed-out, but I captured the following output:
[Debug]: Tasque remote control active. [Debug]: Tasque.exe location: /usr/lib/tasque/Gtk.Tasque.dll [Info]: Searching for Backend DLLs in: /usr/lib/tasque [Info]: Reading /usr/lib/tasque/Gtk.Tasque.dll [Info]: Reading /usr/lib/tasque/RtmBackend.dll [Debug]: Found Available Backend: Tasque.Backends.RtmBackend.RtmBackend [Info]: Reading /usr/lib/tasque/RtmNet.dll [Info]: Reading /usr/lib/tasque/SqliteBackend.dll [Debug]: Found Available Backend: Tasque.Backends.Sqlite.SqliteBackend [Info]: Reading /usr/lib/tasque/libtasque.dll [Debug]: Storing 'Tasque.Backends.RtmBackend.RtmBackend' = 'Remember the Milk' [Debug]: Storing 'Tasque.Backends.Sqlite.SqliteBackend' = 'Local File' [Debug]: CurrentBackend specified in Preferences: Tasque.Backends.RtmBackend.RtmBackend [Info]: Using backend: Remember the Milk (Tasque.Backends.RtmBackend.RtmBackend) [Debug]: Backend not configured, not starting thread [Debug]: Configuration status: False [Debug]: Backend not configured, not starting thread [Debug]: Backend not configured, not starting thread [Debug]: Backend not configured, not starting thread [Debug]: Backend not configured, not starting thread [Debug]: Backend not configured, not starting thread [Debug]: Backend not configured, not starting thread [Debug]: Backend not configured, not starting thread [Debug]: Backend not configured, not starting thread [Debug]: Backend not configured, not starting thread [Debug]: Backend not configured, not starting thread [Debug]: Backend not configured, not starting thread [Debug]: Backend not configured, not starting thread [Debug]: Backend not configured, not starting thread [Debug]: Backend not configured, not starting thread [Debug]: WindowDeleted was called [Debug]: Backend not configured, not starting thread [Debug]: Backend not configured, not starting thread [Debug]: Backend not configured, not starting thread [Debug]: Backend not configured, not starting thread [Debug]: Backend not configured, not starting thread [Info]: Quit called - terminating application Using the Preferences menu from the tray icon, I switched the backend to 'local file' and tasque now works (as far as I can tell thus far) as expected. I suppose a more-graceful fallback from a mis- or un-configured backend would be nice, but that's a wishlist issue and not 'important'. I will amend the severity accordingly. -- Helping Seattle's Needy Get Nerdy http://freegeekseattle.org/wiki/index.php/Free_Geek_Seattle:About Maillist: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/freegeek-seattle IRC: #freegeek-sea on freenode http://webchat.freenode.net?channels=%23freegeek-sea freegeekseattle.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
