Package: tootle
Version: 0.2.0-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
Scenario: you have a web browser installed, but GLib does not know about it.
(For example, elinks.)
1) You start tootle
2) enter in the instance name
3) hit connect
what happens:
4) an error message comes up, "Operation not supported"
and in the console (which most tootle users may not know is there) there is a
error message printed.
what should happen:
The user should be told how to actually get the information tootle needs in
order to work (ie the API key)
This patch adds a error dialog box so that when you try to connect, you are
told to visit a website,
which gets you a API key, so you can continue using tootle.
