2008-03-20 Thread Kenneth P. Turvey
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: nautilus Under linux any file may be executable using the binfmt-misc feature of the kernel. This should mean that when I double click on a file in nautilus that is executable, nautilus should allow me to execute it even if it doesn't fit into the normal

Public bug reported: I'm not sure this is gnome-panel or gnome-panel2. I'm just taking a guess. I'm running dapper for the x86_64 platform. Problem: the time applet doesn't recognize when you have installed the required NTP packages to synchronize the time periodically. To reproduce on a syst
