Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: tasque
When you first run Tasque, it asks you about your personal preferences.
Once you close this dialogue, you can access it again by right-clicking
Tasque systray icon and choosing preferences.
In Natty, however, Tasque menu has only a File button (which contains
only a Close button inside), and it has no systray icon (because it is
blacklisted), nor it relies on an indicator. There isn't a specific
command to access that dialogue through command line either. Therefore,
it is impossible to change its preferences in Natty; the only way to do
that is by whitelisting the application using dconf-editor, which was
what I did. This is not an optimal solution, IMO.
Solutions (both short and long term):
1) Provide a button in the menu to access preferences dialogue
2) Make it appindicator-compliant (putting it into its own menu or, perhaps,
date-time indicator)
3) Use Unity Launcher API to make preferences available on right-click (not
ideal, I guess)
3) Whitelisting it for Natty
