When I was hacking on bug-buddy a few months ago, I noticed that it uses the gmenu API to find and add applications for which it reports bugs. Unfortunately, this causes problems for programs which are not included in the menus (like evince and yelp). I don't know if this is how bug-buddy worked with 2.14.0 or what, but I agree this is a rather large problem. One solution is to include our own bug-buddy.menu file without any filters, but this doesn't solve the issue for applications with NoDisplay=true in the .desktop file as I don't believe the gmenu API returns these applications. Bug-buddy is pretty much maintainerless from what I can tell - Fer is not very active, and I have my hands full with Yelp. Is there someone out there that would be interested in taking bug-buddy by both reins? -- Brent Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> IRC: smitten / #docs / irc.gnome.org _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
