yup, it's caused by the kludge for #42115.  the reasoning was that this
problem affects far fewer people (only those in UTC+12 or greater) than
the previous problem.  the fix is to change the code to open Evolution
with the UTC equivalent to the current local time.

this still doesn't work for edgy and upstream (evolution) is apparently
not going to fix this.  since this is a very visible and annoying bug in
ubuntu, and since the fix (above) is very simple and has no chance of
breaking anything, i'm sure matt will allow it.  i know you guys don't
like deltas, but i would bet that the patch would promptly be accepted
upstream (in gnome-panel).  this is especially true because most other
distributions maintain their own version of this fix.

[Bug 47860] 'refresh' icon is from a different theme

2006-06-01 Thread Alvin Thompson
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ubuntu-artwork

default (human) theme. the 'refresh' icon is clearly the wrong icon for
the theme. it is far smaller than the other icons, a different general
style, and blue.

this problem krept up during the development cycle for several icons
(including refresh), but the problem went away. i guess it's back.

even though it's just an icon, IMHO it's a higher priority because it's
so visible. feel free to change if you dissagree.

otherwise, the human theme looks quite nice.

2006-05-29 Thread Alvin Thompson
if you look at the 'impl_handleURI' function in 'calendar-component.c',
the standard function 'time_from_isodate' is used to parse 'startdate'
and 'enddate' values. the 'time_from_isodate' documentation states the
string must be a Date/time value in ISO 8601 UTC format.

in other words, the date string must include the time and be in UTC. the

[Bug 42115] Re: Clicking on date in calendar applet open previous date in Evolution

2006-05-29 Thread Alvin Thompson
as i mentioned in the bug i filed, a safe kludge is to always use 12
noon GMT:

evolution calendar:///?startdate=20060608T12

since (virtually) no time zone is more than 12 hours away from GMT, this
will force evolution to start on the specified date, regardless of time
zone. the only people this will not work for are those few in Tonga
during their DST and some parts of Kiribati. since the people of Tonga
and Kiribati are primitive and their time is mostly preocupied with
catching enough fish to eat, they probably won't mind if Ubuntu doesn't
open the correct date in Evolution some of the time.

i don't know was it is, but i find the new show desktop panel icon to
be quite repulsive. even repulsive enough to file a bug about it. it's
too busy and complicated looking. plus that pencil seems impossibly
large and threatening (thank goodness Freud is no longer around to

2006-05-26 Thread Alvin Thompson
let's eliminate some of the variables, here. explicitly specifying the
date with the command:

evolution calendar:///?startdate=20060608T114022

starts evolution with the correct date (8 june 2006). however, omitting
the time portion with the command:

evolution calendar:///?startdate=20060608

starts evolution with the incorrect date (*7* june 2006). a safe
workaround could be having the calendar applet include the time on its
command line for starting evolution.

[Bug 46805] Re: gnome-panel calls evolution incorrectly

2006-05-26 Thread Alvin Thompson
to be more specific, the command used to open evolution is probably
something like this:

evolution calendar:///?startdate=20060608

in this example, i believe that evolution is assuming the specific time
to open is 8 june 2006, 00:00 zulu time. this gets translated to the
previous day to those of us in a minus time zone.

so, Bug #42115 is not a bug, rather gnome-panel needs to specify the
specific time zone in its command.

you're missing the point. the command DOES work properly, but since
there is no time or time zone specified, evolution quite reasonably
assumes 00:00 zulu. for those of us in EDT, this get translated to 8PM
of the previous day.

2006-05-26 Thread Alvin Thompson
i know it sounds like i'm arguing semantics, but in this case semantics
are important. the reason that i want to make the distinction clear is
because this bug is mirrored upstream, and the Evolution maintainers
need to know that there's actually no problem with their code. in fact,
they should NOT change how the command works between major releases (if
at all) because doing so would break the existing valid contract.

to further explain, evolution IS opening the the date that was
specified. the problem is that gnome-panel is telling evolution to open
the wrong date. to better understand this, you need to realize that
evolution is not opening a DAY, but rather a POINT IN TIME. the point in
time  8 June 00:00 GMT is actually 7 June 20:00 for those in EDT.

   Priority: (none set)
 Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
using dapper (64-bit) on an Acer Ferrari 4000 laptop with ATI fglrx
drivers. the problem may be present on other computers as well.

when i press the logout button on my computer, it shows the new logout
dialog (which i love). however, the screen fade effect is slow and looks
like it's using too few colors, resulting in an ugly effect.

would it be possible to use the same logout code as the gksudo dialog?
when gksudo fades the screen it looks very smooth and nice.

this bug supercedes bug #18697 and bug #34445, which i believe should be
marked as fixed.

6! open an email from that address. most images will not be displayed.

restarting evolution does not fix the problem. interestingly, images
that have previously been cached do show up (like from a similar email),

2006-04-16 Thread Alvin Thompson
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 33820 ***

while this change may work well for you, you're not considering the people 
whose power buttons are in much more accessible locations (for example, laptop 
users have their power buttons right on the keyboard). in these cases 
accidently pressing the power button is common. i can't tell you how many times 
i've lost work because i accidently pressed the button and there was no 
confirmation.

as for your analogy, you can't usually lose hours of work by switching off the 
TV or lamp, so the interface can be simpler. on things where it's important not 
to turn off/on accidently, you have to confirm things. a better analogy would 
be an alarm system; you have to punch in your code and possibly override some 
regions to turn it on/off.

please do NOT remove this feature!

soap-box
this sort of thing is exactly why it's better to discuss a change of features 
on the mailing list with other users before submitting a bug. you may find that 
there is a valid reason to keep things as they are or that you have less 
support for the change than you thought you did. you're basically trying to 
argue that your priorities are more important than someone else's, and before 
you do that you should at least try to get some consensus. this will save 
developers some time...

[Bug 37932] Re: 'Select Message Thread' does not select all messages in thread

2006-04-09 Thread Alvin Thompson
included upstream is  a patch for 2.6.0. can we just it here? i know deltas 
greatly increase work load, but i believe it  would improve the out-of-box 
experience of ubuntu for the target audience. everyone expects a 'select 
thread' button to, well, select the thread.

[Bug 37935] going from group selection to single selection doesn't show contents of message

2006-04-03 Thread Alvin Thompson
Public bug reported:

Affects: evolution (Ubuntu)
   Severity: Normal
   Priority: (none set)
 Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
1. select a single message. the contents show in the preview window.
2. select additional messages by holding down CTRL and clicking on them with 
the mouse. the preview window correctly goes blank when multiple messages are 
selected.
3! release the CTRL key and click on the last message clicked on from step 2 
(the one that should still have focus). now a single message is selected, but 
the contents are not shown in the preview window.

3. set all units to 'Default'
4. select as location North America--United

[Bug 33820] Re: Pressing power button displays dialog, it does not switch off computer

2006-04-03 Thread Alvin Thompson
i for one absolutely love this new behavior. i can't tell you how many times my 
cat has shut off my laptop in the middle of important work by walking on the 
keyboard and stepping on the power button. i've inadvertently pressed the power 
button myself as well. something as drastic as shutting off the computer should 
have a confirmation required. you guys did good! don't change it!

1! try to start yelp. it crashes shortly afterwards for no apparent
reason.

using dapper 64-bit, 28 march.  yelp appears to work fine for the few
seconds before it crashes (follows links, etc).

i'm not sure, but this may be related to bug #35892.

hmm... why is the severity 'wishlist' if this is a regression and a
