--- Comment #12 from Guido Falsi <madpi...@freebsd.org> --- (In reply to John from comment #10) Please don't rush things. You created 3 bug reports for the same issue, one referencing a port which is only marginally related to the issue (xscreensaver), since it's not installing any file causing it. This is strictly an XFCE problem. Please let's keep the conversation in one place only. This is one bug. with two strictly related problems. - xfce installs two .desktop files (one via xfce4-session port and one via the xfce4-screensaver port) which launch screensaver applications and, if both are installed, both are lunched simultaneously. This setup cannot work - to make things worse, the GUI to choose which one is enabled ends up with the same description for both of them. I already filed a bug report upstream with xfce4-screensaver [1] asking to change the name in the desktop file. That's enough. I think that your changes are too invasive and would not be accepted upstream. Also you patch is touching the wrong file. Anyway if you want to push to upstream for your changes, I'd suggest you followup to my bug report there with a correct patch relative to their sources. My plan is to change the description with a little brutal (in relation to the translations [2]) patch to the xfce4-screensaver .desktop file, so as to get different descriptions, and make xfce4-session install the xscreensaver .desktop file disabled, and add a note in UPDATING. This logic is due to the fact that the xfce metaport installs xfce4-screensaver by default, so having the default xscreensaver.desktop file enabled by default would cause the issue to appear for everybody. I need some time to test all this and I'll also be away for a few days, so I don't think I'll be able to commit a fix before monday. The other option is to revert the xfce metaport to depending on xscreensaver as before and let people manually install xfce4-screensaver if they want to. But since xfce now has it's own screensaver component this does not look optimal. Somewhere in your messages you ask me not to disable xscreensaver by default...why? Having BOTH enabled cannot work. [1] https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15991, referenced in bug #240811 [2] we can't only patch the English version and wait for xfce to translate it, this would require a lot of time, and in the while translated versions would get the same text anyway. Also any proposed name/description change we send to xfce for inclusion needs to be accepted there, which we can't force -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ freebsd-xfce@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-xfce To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-xfce-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
