Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-applets
gnome-applets still, after 3 years, contains the
'/usr/lib/bonobo/servers/GNOME_MiniCommanderApplet.server' file for the
long-deprecated mini_commander applet. This makes it impossible to use a
stand-alone version of mini_commander without resorting to ugly hacks.
As the applet is not in the package the server file has no business
being there either. I have submitted a patch to resolve this issue
several months ago but did not get any reaction from the package
maintainer.
Please please please REMOVE that stale server file! Don't make things
difficult which should be easy. If upstream insists on installing that
file just remove it in debian/rules as is done with so many other
unwanted files. I am sure that I am not the only one using
mini_commander instead of the overweight, disfunctional and misnamed
'deskbar' replacement. Anyone who 'just' wants a command line applet in
the panel is much better served by mini_commander as that a) actually
sits in the panel and b) uses much less memory and c) is much faster and
d) starts much faster and and and... so why throw up - or refuse to
remove - a barrier to those who happen to dislike 'deskbar-applet'?
I can resubmit the patch if needed, it is short and sweet and simple and
non-invasive.
