This seriously gets me fired up! The removing of extremely useful features, which is in line with gnome over all.

I re-open this since a regression has caused this to appear in Lucid Alpha 3. Worked fine in Karmic, but the new volume control in the Indicator applet doesn't listen to scroll events. Only after having expanded it, scrolling on the slider works. This requires two extra mouse clicks (show + hide). Right, the hide is implicit when selecting another window, but still.

[Bug 56567] Internationalization policy question
Public bug reported: The stock watcher (now called invest applet) has been in gnome-applets for _years_, and it still only works with US stocks. My question is, is it reasonable to have it mandatory in this package? Why not move it out as something optional. When gnome is meant to _not_ be confusing, I think having applets that are 100% useless to the _vast_ majority of the earth's population and never will be able to be used by them, I think it's pretty confusing. [Other applets might be useless unless you have a laptop, or modem etc. But at least people _might_ buy a laptop, or get a modem. Moving to US is not really an option to most, ever in their life (or investing in US stocks in any other way).] So, my request is; either add support for lots of more stock markets, or move it out as some locale-specific optional applet. I don't want it on my hard drive, and I don't want to have to see it in the list of applets (where the rest of the applets are at least theoretically something I could use).

Yes Matt, unless it has dependencies. To me it's not really an option. Removing menu-xdg would mean to remove: kcontrol kdelibs4c2a kicker koctave kwave libkonq4 menu-xdg tora But the problem still exists, and this is what's so troublesome with things like gnome. The problem is that the menu flickers, and the app goes crazy just because a symlink is pointing to outer space. To me, THIS is the bug, and the 'solutions' above are hacks which 'might' work, but it doesn't solve the bug. It is caused by bad programming, not because of vague packaging. A program 'crashing' because a symlink (which is not required by the program) doesn't exist or doesn't point to a valid file is a badly written program.

and thousands of weird stat64's, such as:

where the number before stat64 is the number of calls during this minute.

Public bug report changed: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/34476 Comment: If I just kill kill kill the gnome-panel (it comes back otherwise and is locked) and start it from a terminal I get this, (sorry for the Swedish): ** (gnome-panel:5806): WARNING **: /build/buildd/gnome-panel-2.13.91/./gnome-panel/panel-applet-frame.c:1261: failed to load applet OAFIID:GNOME_NetspeedApplet: Misslyckades med att lösa upp eller utöka "!prefs_key=/apps/panel/applets/applet_5/prefs;background=none:;orient=down;size=x-small;locked_down=false ** (gnome-panel:5806): WARNING **: /build/buildd/gnome-panel-2.13.91/./gnome-panel/panel-applet-frame.c:1261: failed to load applet OAFIID:GNOME_NotificationAreaApplet: Misslyckades med att lösa upp eller utöka "!prefs_key=/apps/panel/applets/notification_area_screen0/prefs;background=none:;orient=down;size=x-small;locked_down=false So it seems gconf depends on the panel which depends on all applets to behave well. If one of them don't, everything will break. How very stable. So, now it's just time to figure out how to remove them manually, since the panel is a dead piece of gray clay. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Public bug report changed: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/34476 Comment: Added a new user account with fresh home directory, no gconf-stuff, no .gnome... Same thing. And now when I log in back as my regular user, my panels are crashing and "I'm already running" nightmare.. I've not had this in a month, but now it's back... I'm so very sick and tired of gnome... Can anything just work for Once? -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Public bug reported: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/34476 Affects: gconf2 libgconf2-4 (Ubuntu) Severity: Normal Priority: (none set) Status: Unconfirmed Description: This is my bug: http://www.google.com/search?q=gconf+restarted+too+many+times "System exception: IDL:Bonobo/GeneralError:1.0 :" Child didn't give any error information... Unknown error... You don't get more information out of me, since I don't get more out of gconf. But it's freaking me out, and occures on every login. Themes aren't working. Happened after breezy->dapper. Btw, I had this bug on another machine years ago on debian... -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
