Package: empathy Version: 2.26.0-1 Severity: normal empathy generates a desktop notification when someone sends me an instant message and I don't already have a chat window open for them. That's good. But the desktop notification mechanism honors some subset of HTML tags, e.g. if the message sent was "<i>Hello!</i>" then the notification shows "Hello!" in italics. It eats tags it doesn't recognize or that are ill-formed; my SO is in the habit of instant-messaging me "<3" which shows up as a blank notification.
empathy should be HTML-escaping messages before passing them to libnotify. [ I looked at the libnotify documentation and it doesn't mention this at all, but I am guessing that pango_parse_markup() is being called at some point, see http://library.gnome.org/devel/pango/stable/PangoMarkupFormat.html -- unfortunately this does not say precisely how to escape arbitrary text. Empirically, though, < > and & work as in HTML.] -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages empathy depends on: ii dbus-x11 1.2.12-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libatk1.0-0 1.24.0-2 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libbonobo2-0 2.24.1-1 Bonobo CORBA interfaces library ii libc6 2.9-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.8.6-2+b1 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libcanberra-gtk0 0.4-1 Gtk+ helper for playing widget eve ii libcanberra0 0.4-1 a simple abstract interface for pl ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.12-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.80-3 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libebook1.2-9 2.24.5-4+b1 Client library for evolution addre ii libedataserver1.2-11 2.24.5-4+b1 Utility library for evolution data ii libempathy-gtk19 2.26.0-1 High-level library and user-interf ii libempathy23 2.26.0-1 High-level library and user-interf ii libenchant1c2a 1.4.2-3.3 a wrapper library for various spel ii libfontconfig1 2.6.0-3 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.3.9-4 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgconf2-4 2.24.0-7 GNOME configuration database syste ii libglade2-0 1:2.6.4-1 library to load .glade files at ru ii libglib2.0-0 2.20.0-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnome2-0 2.24.1-2 The GNOME 2 library - runtime file ii libgstreamer-plugins-b 0.10.22-5 GStreamer libraries from the "base ii libgstreamer0.10-0 0.10.22-3 Core GStreamer libraries and eleme ii libgtk2.0-0 2.14.7-5 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libmissioncontrol-clie 4.67-2 Library to interact with Telepathy ii libnotify1 [libnotify1 0.4.5-1 sends desktop notifications to a n ii liborbit2 1:2.14.17-0.1 libraries for ORBit2 - a CORBA ORB ii libpango1.0-0 1.24.0-3 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpopt0 1.14-4 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii libsoup2.4-1 2.24.3-2 an HTTP library implementation in ii libtelepathy-farsight0 0.0.6-1 Glue library between telepathy and ii libtelepathy-glib0 0.7.29-1 Telepathy framework - GLib library ii libx11-6 2:1.2.1-1 X11 client-side library ii libxml2 2.7.3.dfsg-1 GNOME XML library ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-13 compression library - runtime Versions of packages empathy recommends: ii gvfs-backends 1.0.3-3 userspace virtual filesystem - bac ii telepathy-gabble 0.7.26-1 Jabber/XMPP connection manager ii telepathy-salut 0.3.9-1 Link-local XMPP connection manager empathy suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
