Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: libgnome2-0
Tested on: Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 with GNOME 2.24.1
Package version affected: 2.24.1
If somebody sets gnome-open as a default application for opening certain
filetype and then double-clicks one of those files, gnome-open keeps
executing itself over and over, using all CPU power.
Steps to reproduce:
- right click on any file, choose Properties -> Opening -> Add -> type
"gnome-open" -> OK -> select "gnome-open" -> OK
- double click on the file
- notice 100% CPU load
- execute " killall gnome-open " in terminal to terminate this infinite loop
Possible solutions:
- ignore, as it is not a severe problem
- warn user whilst adding a program in the preferences window with an alert:
"This program cannot be set for opening files"
- make gnome-open check if it is to run itself and display "Choose application
to open this file" window instead
