Both for old created desktop files and for new ones created by non-updated apps. Why is this a problem ? - You can chmod the existing desktop files on an upgrade Certainly we should do this. Do we have any standard place for upgrades like this during login? - If you meet one that appears not to have been updated you can ask the user/fix it with their permission You mean describing how to do this manually in the dialog rather than asking the user if they want to do this? I don't see how this is an increase in security, it seems just to be a larger amount of manual work for something that can happen in perfectly legitime cases. ___ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list

This clearly seems important, so string freeze approval from me. 1. Why use the passive voice in the first sentence (... is unknown to you)? Directly addressing the user seems more logical in this case. 2. Why is marked as trusted? I think has been marked trusted makes more sense? 3. Reordering the words so that it ends with the word unsafe likely gets more attention from the user. 4. File names should be enclosed in double quotes. So, my suggestion: The application launcher %s has not been marked as trusted. If you do not know this application launcher's source, launching it may be unsafe.

GNOME 2.26 Showstopper Review
(Better late than never.) Take a look, test help out, comment if there's important bugs that are not listed here, make 2.26 rock. EVOLUTION Camel Disk summary meta bug http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=543389 Summary says it all. (And I personally hope that Evolution 2.26.0 will become the stable version that 2.24.0 was supposed to be.) GNOME-DOC-UTILS Bidirational problems in xsl http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=563559 Should be fixed as per comment 15, but testing would be very welcome! GNOME-PYTHON Convert from popt to GOption http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=507174 Still the very last module to get rid of popt. Patch available, but needs more work. GNOME-SESSION gnome-session doesn't save session anymore http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=552387 A famous bug, but my secret webcam shows that Lucas is working on this. GNOME-SYSTEM-TOOLS no i18n of .policy files http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=528015 Big i18n issue, and patch available awaiting review. GTK+ gtk-builder-convert creates untranslated combobox models http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=553385 Patch needs rework. Volunteers highly welcome. NAUTILUS untranslatable ordinal numbers in nautilus-file-operations.c http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=325284 Should be easy to fix after the latest discussion in the report. POLICYKIT-GNOME Some strings doesn't work properly with translations http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=549411 Trivial patch still awaiting review from the maintainers. GNOME GOALS not yet completed: * http://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/PoptGOption : Gnome-Python (as mentioned above) * http://live.gnome.org/GtkPrintPort : gnome-games, gnome-python-desktop, gnome-devel-docs (update) * http://live.gnome.org/GioPort : PATCHES: dasher TODO: gnome-python-desktop, gnome-utils/gsearchtool More Goals available: * http://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/CleanupGTKIncludes * http://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/RemoveDeprecatedSymbols/Glib * http://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/RemoveDeprecatedSymbols/GTK%2B * http://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/RemoveLibGladeUseGtkBuilder ...plus of course getting rid of deprecated modules (especially libgnome, libgnomeui and bonobo) for GNOME 3.
