** Description changed: Binary package hint: gnome-control-center The "locate pointer" checkbox in System -> Preferences -> Assistive Technologies -> Mouse Accessibility window can't be checked. It is active (with white background), but it remains unchecked when you click on it. I'm using Karmic Beta on VirtualBox. ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 Date: Sat Oct 3 21:08:23 2009 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/gnome-at-properties Package: gnome-control-center 1:2.28.0-0ubuntu3 ProcEnviron: - LANG=es_ES.UTF-8 - SHELL=/bin/bash + LANG=es_ES.UTF-8 + SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.31-11.38-generic SourcePackage: gnome-control-center Uname: Linux 2.6.31-11-generic i686 + + *** SRU stuff *** + + [Impact of bug] + "locate pointer" checkbox in gnome-mouse-properties dialog cannot be checked, and locate pointer feature does not work + + [Description of change] + The bug was caused by g-s-d not honouring libexec at build time, and thus trying to spawn gsd-locate-pointer with an incorrect path. The patch addresses this by making sure that libexec is honoured + + [Test case] + With each version of gnome-settings-daemon in turn (2.28.1-0ubuntu1 and 2.28.1-0ubuntu2), do the following: + + 1) Try to enable "Show the position of pointer when the Control key is pressed" in gnome-mouse properties. + 2) Press CTRL key and observe behaviour. + + With the old version of gnome-settings-daemon, it is not possible to + check the checkbox in step 1. The CTRL key doesn't show where the + pointer is in step 2. + + With the new version of gnome-settings-daemon, it is possible to turn on + the feature. Pressing the CTRL key will show an animation where the + mouse cursor is positioned. + + [Regression potential] + None - this patch just makes sure that libexecdir is honoured properly in the mouse plugin. libexecdir is used in only one place in this plugin
