Bug description:
Binary package hint: system-config-printer
Recently the default notification daemon in Ubuntu was replaced by a notify-osd
which does not support action buttons.
Therefore system-config-printer was patched to work without action buttons if
needed, by using pop-up dialogs. Unfortunately this patch cannot be applied
upstream, as the check for the notification daemon type is done in a
Ubuntu-specific way:
if os.environ.get('GDMSESSION') == "gnome-stracciatella":
This should be replaced by a generic check on the notification daemon
capabilities, using the Python equivalent of the function
GList *notify_get_server_caps(void);
(/usr/include/libnotify/notify.h). It should be "pynotify.get_server_caps()".
As there are notification daemons with and without action button support, the
assumption of system-config-printer to have action button support is an
upstream bug which can be fixed by upstreamizing this patch.
Ken VanDine, can you please fix the patch? Thanks.
