Package: fuss-launcher
Version: 0.3
Severity: minor
Since I'm running fvwm, without a GNOME panel, running just
jbr:~$ fuss-launcher -window
has no visible effect. I look up the man page and discover that it
only knows about one option:
jbr:~$ man fuss-launcher | grep -B1 win
SYNOPSIS
fuss-launcher [-window]]
--
OPTIONS
-window Run in a window instead of an applet.
Oh good, I think, that explains why its dependencies didn't say
anything about needing a particular desktop environment. But:
jbr:~$ fuss-launcher -window
fuss-launcher: error: no such option: -w
Usage: fuss-launcher [options]
Fuss application launcher applet
Options:
--version show program's version number and exit
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-q, --quiet quiet mode: only output fatal errors
-v, --verbose verbose mode
-d, --debug debug mode
I should also like to point out that
# Description: The Fuss Launcher
# This applet is the Fuss Launcher, a simple application launcher
is misleading. The synopsis line just repeats the packagename with an
extra capitalised definite article (deprecated in DevRef) and the long
description is woefully inadequate. I would suggest:
Description: smart application launcher applet
This GNOME panel applet provides an application launcher developed by
the FUSS project. It uses apt-xapian-index to help it suggest
applications that can open a particular file, and can remember
frequently used applications or personal favorites.
Depends: gnome-panel
