[Fink-beginners] gnome2 & wanda

[Stan Sanderson]

In Gnome 1 options could be passed through Wanda (the fish applet). In 
Gnome 2, clicking the fish will only call applications which have no 
options set. For example, "fortune" (typed in the Gnome-fish 
preferences) yields the expected fortune. However, "fortune -s" results 
in the system message, "Unable to locate the command to execute". The 
same commands in a terminal window behave as expected (i.e., "-s" 
limits fortunes to short messages). Similarly, fortune -l should call 
long messages only but instead results in the same error as above if 
called from Wanda the fish.

I am curious about the reason for the change in behavior and whether 
there is a simple work-around.

Thanks!

Stan
