Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: system-config-printer
Recently the default notification daemon in Ubuntu was replaced by a
notify-osd which does not support action buttons.
Therefore system-config-printer was patched to work without action
buttons if needed, by using pop-up dialogs. Unfortunately this patch
cannot be applied upstream, as the check for the notification daemon
type is done in a Ubuntu-specific way:
if os.environ.get('GDMSESSION') == "gnome-stracciatella":
This should be replaced by a generic check on the notification daemon
capabilities, using the Python equivalent of the function
GList *notify_get_server_caps(void);
(/usr/include/libnotify/notify.h). It should be
"pynotify.get_server_caps()". As there are notification daemons with and
without action button support, the assumption of system-config-printer
to have action button support is an upstream bug which can be fixed by
upstreamizing this patch.
Ken VanDine, can you please fix the patch? Thanks.
