Package: gnome-control-center Version: 1:2.26.0-1 Severity: normal In the Preferred Applications window, there are checkboxes to set whether the application should be run in a terminal window. These preferences work, but they aren't set automatically when choosing a preset application.
The list of default applications in gnome-default-applications.xml has a run-in-terminal pref but it doesn't seem to be used by Preferred Applications. Well, there's only one application that has it set to true, but it's Mutt. Choosing Mutt from the list of mail readers works, and sets the command gconf pref, but it doesn't set the needs_terminal pref to true. Likewise, if the needs_terminal pref is already true, choosing a mail reader that has run-in-terminal set to false doesn't change it. This is more of a problem because the terminal checkbox is disabled unless you're using a custom mailer. Setting the pref manually (either by choosing a custom mailer then going back to a preset one or changing the gconf pref directly) works. It just isn't done automatically, which makes the run-in-terminal pref in the list of defaults rather pointless. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages gnome-control-center depends on: ii capplets-data 1:2.26.0-1 configuration applets for GNOME - ii desktop-file-utils 0.15-2 Utilities for .desktop files ii gnome-desktop-data 2.26.1-1 Common files for GNOME 2 desktop a ii gnome-icon-theme 2.26.0-1 GNOME Desktop icon theme ii gnome-menus 2.26.1-2 an implementation of the freedeskt ii gnome-settings-daemon 2.24.1-3 daemon handling the GNOME session ii libatk1.0-0 1.26.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libbonobo2-0 2.24.1-1 Bonobo CORBA interfaces library ii libc6 2.9-12 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.8.8-2 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libcanberra-gtk0 0.12-1 Gtk+ helper for playing widget eve ii libcanberra0 0.12-1 a simple abstract interface for pl ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.80-4 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libebook1.2-9 2.26.3-1 Client library for evolution addre ii libfontconfig1 2.6.0-4 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.3.9-5 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgconf2-4 2.26.2-3 GNOME configuration database syste ii libglade2-0 1:2.6.4-1 library to load .glade files at ru ii libglib2.0-0 2.20.4-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnome-desktop-2-11 2.26.1-1 Utility library for loading .deskt ii libgnome-window-settings1 1:2.26.0-1 Utility library for getting window ii libgnome2-0 2.26.0-1 The GNOME library - runtime files ii libgnomekbd3 2.26.0-1 GNOME library to manage keyboard c ii libgnomeui-0 2.24.1-1 The GNOME 2 libraries (User Interf ii libgtk2.0-0 2.16.4-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libmetacity-private0 1:2.26.0-3 library for the Metacity window ma ii libpango1.0-0 1.24.4-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpolkit-gnome0 0.9.2-2 PolicyKit-gnome library ii libpolkit2 0.9-4 library for accessing PolicyKit ii libslab0 0.9.12-3 beautification app library file ii libx11-6 2:1.2.1-1 X11 client-side library ii libxcursor1 1:1.1.9-1 X cursor management library ii libxft2 2.1.13-3 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxklavier12 3.9-1 X Keyboard Extension high-level AP ii libxml2 2.7.3.dfsg-2 GNOME XML library ii libxss1 1:1.1.3-1 X11 Screen Saver extension library Versions of packages gnome-control-center recommends: ii bzip2 1.0.5-2 high-quality block-sorting file co ii evolution-data-server 2.26.1.1-2 evolution database backend server ii gnome-session 2.22.3-3 The GNOME 2 Session Manager ii gnome-user-guide 2.26.2-1 GNOME user's guide Versions of packages gnome-control-center suggests: ii gnome-screensaver 2.26.1-1 GNOME screen saver and locker ii gstreamer0.10-alsa [gstreamer 0.10.23-3 GStreamer plugin for ALSA ii gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad [gs 0.10.13-1 GStreamer plugins from the "bad" s ii gstreamer0.10-plugins-good [g 0.10.15-2 GStreamer plugins from the "good" ii libcanberra-gtk-module 0.12-1 translates Gtk+ widgets signals to ii x11-xserver-utils 7.4+2 X server utilities ii xscreensaver 5.05-3 Automatic screensaver for X -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
