The button is only shown if you are in the admin group. On one of my
laptops, my user is, on another fresh install, it is not. I do not know
why that is, but the logic needs to be re-examined:
static gboolean
is_admin ()
{
gid_t groups [1024];
int i, ngroups;
struct group *admin;
admin = getgrnam ("admin");
if (admin == NULL)
return FALSE;
ngroups = getgroups (1024, groups);
if (ngroups < 0) {
perror ("getgroups");
return FALSE;
}
for (i = 0; i < ngroups; ++i) {
if (groups[i] == admin->gr_gid)
return TRUE;
}
return FALSE;
}
/* System wide proxy settings */
if (is_admin ()) {
g_signal_connect (G_OBJECT (gtk_builder_get_object
(panel->priv->builder, "system_proxy_button")), "clicked",
G_CALLBACK (on_proxy_apply_system_wide),
panel);
} else
gtk_widget_hide (GTK_WIDGET (gtk_builder_get_object
(panel->priv->builder, "system_proxy_button")));
Perhaps the cause is this change?
