Package: mate-panel
Version: 1.8.1+dfsg1-2
Severity: minor
Tags: upstream
Dear maintainers,
doing this
1. Create some launcher on the desktop (RM->Create Launcher)
2. Copy launcher to some panel (Drag-And-Drop)
3. Remove launcher from desktop
4. Logout+Login (so mate-panel is refreshed)
silently leaves the user with no launcher visible any more in
the panel. It's still in the panel's config though; (for example)
resurrecting the Desktop Launcher from the Trash makes it visible
again after Logout/Login.
There is no way to notice for the user (i.e., via the MATE
desktop) that such a broken panel item ist still configured. The
only way to see is via the user's ".xsession-errors" file
("Unable to open desktop file"...).
Imho, one of the following simple solutions would fix this:
- Just show the broken items in the panel anyway, so the user can deal with
them.
- Add a pop-up whether the user wants to remove the broken items (like for
broken panel apps).
Furthermore, when Drag-and-drop the desktop launcher to the
panel, it shows a '+', which should read 'copy', but this
obviously is not a real copy -- a different issue (this is about
error handling only), but related.
Thx!
Stephan
