Do you mean this is a new way to repro? Which replaces the old? (For all versions, or just the latest one you tried?) If we are to finally report this upstream, can you provide a brief use case to assess the priority of this? If it's just an academic curiosity, I don't really see the point; but even in that case, it would make more sense for it to sit in the Emacs bug tracker where the people who can do something about it at least have a chance to stumble into it.

[Bug 1102342] [NEW] Lower-right resize control jumps to near-maximized
Public bug reported: When I open a document in evince and attempt to resize it, the resize control in the lower right corner will resize the window to the maximum size, rather than stay under the cursor. Grabbing a window edge and resizing from there works as expected, so as a workaround, I can resize the evince window to the size I want by dragging from the window edges rather than from the corner control; but the workaround is annoying and cumbersome, and the impulse to use the corner control is hard to unlearn. I include the OS version info etc and below that a command-line sequence demostrating the problem. Between the first and the second xwininfo commands, I just barely had time to reach for the mouse and click and hold the button over the bottom-right corner of the evince window. I am running Xubuntu, pretty much out of the box. Perhaps the problem is in the window manager or something? For lack of repeatability in other applications, I am assuming this is a bug in evince, but I could of course be wrong.

@Chris Coulson: somebody who understands what gnome-settings-daemon and its helper do should improve the _Comment field (or add if missing) in their .desktop files. See e.g. comment #21 for a slightly more detailed problem analysis and comment #43 and the following ones for a draft proposal. Some comments of mine in comment #47 might be useful as guidance for the person authoring the descriptions. To my current understanding, gnome-settings-daemon is the thing which communicates between gconf and individual gconf clients. What role the helper plays in this I don't know. To reiterate remarks from comment #21, is it really absolutely necessary for there to be two different components in the Startup Applications dialog? It would seem like an improvement both for usability and functional purposes to have a single entry there; if it needs to start two processes behind the scenes then so be it, but that should probably not be exposed to the user in this fashion (assuming that it does not really make much sense to run the daemon without the helper, or vice versa); but please understand that my mental model of this is probably less than adequate. ** Changed in: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = New -- Poor descriptions for some applications in Startup Programs window https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/146918 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I'm not entirely happy with the new description for Update Notifier: Check for available updates automatically. The wording is somewhat verbose (why would it check for unavailable updates, and how? Why is this automatically? I think I kind of know why you put it there, but is it really necessary?) but above all, if you don't know what sorts of updates, how would you find out? Both of the proposals above are IMHO more informative. Martin Albisetti wrote on 2009-07-02: Update notifier - Notifies you of system updates Andruk wrote on 2009-07-02: Update notifier - Notify about application updates Check for software updates from Ubuntu and other software sources, though a bit long, might approach some sort of synthesis. Although I criticize the details of his wording, I think Michael Vogt's proposal captures the essence of the discussion so far; describe what functionality will stop working if you uncheck it. After all, that's what this dialog box is meant for. Hence, perhaps Bluetooth Manager could be something like Discover Bluetooth devices within range and Network Manager perhaps something along the lines of Discover and connect to networks (by implication, Internet connections; perhaps that could somehow be worked into the description still). -- Poor descriptions for some applications in Startup Programs window https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/146918 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 16285] Re: time-admin: User-selected time zone will not stick (for some locations)
In http://git.gnome.org./cgit/gnome-system-tools/tree/src/time/time-
tool.c the function oobs_time_config_get_timezone is used to populate
the GUI. This appears to use the functions from System Tools Backends
to actually obtain the current time zone.
Now, my understanding of the relationships and dependencies is far from
perfect, but I was able to read and roughly understand the code in
Time::TimeDate.pm -- it basically compares your /etc/localtime to the
available time zone files, and (duh) reports the first match.
But why doesn't it simply read my /etc/timezone?
jaunty$ perl -I/usr/share/system-tools-backends-2.0/scripts -MTime::TimeDate
-MUtils::File \
-le 'print Time::TimeDate::get_timezone(/etc/localtime,
/usr/share/zoneinfo)'
Europe/Mariehamn
jaunty$ cat /etc/timezone
Europe/Helsinki
jaunty$ ls -l /etc/localtime /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/{Helsinki,Mariehamn}
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1883 2009-07-04 22:07 /etc/localtime
-rw-r--r-- 2 root root 1883 2009-06-18 19:15 /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Helsinki
-rw-r--r-- 2 root root 1883 2009-06-18 19:15
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Mariehamn
jaunty$ md5sum /etc/localtime /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/{Helsinki,Mariehamn}
a2a75461ac17557cba12a846a564e467 /etc/localtime
a2a75461ac17557cba12a846a564e467 /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Helsinki
a2a75461ac17557cba12a846a564e467 /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Mariehamn
Thus, the following locations exhibit the problem:
jaunty$ grep -v '^#' /usr/share/zoneinfo/zone.tab | cut -sf3 |
perl -I/usr/share/system-tools-backends-2.0/scripts -MTime::TimeDate
-MUtils::File -lne '
$a = $_;
$tz = Time::TimeDate::get_timezone(/usr/share/zoneinfo/$_,
/usr/share/zoneinfo);
print $a != $tz unless ($a eq $tz)'
Antarctica/South_Pole != Antarctica/McMurdo
Europe/Helsinki != Europe/Mariehamn
Europe/Guernsey != Europe/London
America/Guadeloupe != America/St_Barthelemy
Europe/Zagreb != Europe/Sarajevo

Arctic/Longyearbyen != Europe/Oslo
Europe/Bratislava != Europe/Prague
Europe/San_Marino != Europe/Rome
America/Shiprock != America/Denver
Europe/Vatican != Europe/Rome
As predicted by this list, I was able to reproduce for Longyearbyen and
Jersey as well, and would expect the rest of the list to reprodce this
problem as well. For Longyearbyen - Olso and Jersey - London the
mapping is luckily to the proper main city in the governing territory,
so I guess it's less sensitive for them, but it's still a bug. If Rome
mapped to San Marino, or Denver to Shiprock, that would be similar to
the situation wrt Helsinki/Mariehamn. And Bratislava - Prague is
pretty grave, of course.

A very similar bug was fixed in the Clock applet a while back http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=519823 -- basically, the code would guess your location based on latitude and longitude, and map to a fairly random location from its database. I'm guessing a similar fix should be applied for the time-admin component (and/or down the line, this sort of logic should be centralized into a single module or library). ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #519823 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=519823 ** Summary changed: - Wrong timezone location for ex-YU Europe countries in Time Date settings + time-admin: User-selected time zone will not stick (for some locations) ** Description changed: - Everytime I set my timezone Europe/Belgrade, click ok and return to the - settings, Europe/Sarajevo shows instead. - I tried with different cities - Zagreb, Ljubljana, Skopje - they all disappear - after window closes and Europe/Sarajevo returns.

[Bug 146918] Re: Poor descriptions for some applications in Startup Programs window
Thanks for pitching in here! Allow me to comment on a few of your suggestions, though. As a general comment, these are applications which are started when your session is initiated. Many of them are infrastructure, daemon-type programs which do not directly expose a user interface. Therefore I find it slightly problematic to describe them in terms of what the user can do. GNOME accessibility - Arrange alternative interaction devices I'd also be hesitant to coin new names for existing components. Users who know what AT-SPI is might be annoyed to find it renamed to something novel. In order to cover this legacy issue, at a minimum I'd like to keep the old name in the description somewhere. How about GNOME AT-SPI Accessibility - Enable alternative input and output devices Evolution alarm notifier - Configure advanced alarm clock features (is this correct?) I think they fixed this one already; the current one is IMHO clearer and more correct. GNOME keyring - Manage authentication for your GPG encryption keys I'm at loss to the relationship between Seahorse and the GNOME Keyring. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNOME_Keyring says Seahorse should replace the old keyring altogether. If that's the case, it will handle both SSH and GPG keys. In any event, this component does manage them from the system's perspective, but it's more of a daemon for interconnecting the key store with applications, if I understand any of this at all. Maybe this description is fine; I'm just thinking out loud here. GNOME login sound - Configure system sounds To the best of my understanding, this one merely plays the sound; you configure it elsewhere. GNOME Login Sound - Play the login chime GNOME settings - Manage computer configurations GNOME settings helper - Automatically manage computer configurations (is this correct?) I'm sorry, I'm not really comfortable with this. I don't understand this (see my comments above) but in any event, I believe this manages only the core GNOME configuration, i.e. basically what you can manipulate with gconftool. Most of what users want to configure is handled elsewhere. GNOME splash screen - Change startup screen graphics Again, like with the login sound, this one just executes, doesn't configure. Indicator applet - Configure notifications for system Do you genuinely understand what this one does? Could you point to some documentation? Is this the new notification thingamajig? Why does it require a separate startup process in order to add something to the panel, anyway? Network manager - Connect to a computer network Power manager - Change power settings Again, these run a service which enable you to do these things, but do not directly expose a user interface. Maybe I'm too picky; maybe these are fine. Finally, I vaguely think the Name field should perhaps be in Title Case, like most of the existing entries. Thanks again for coming up with a good proposal.

@Marcel Stimberg: Sounds like a good plan. However, in the end game, it's the upstream maintainers' call whether or not they agree; but we could well submit patches and refer to these principles. (I don't suppose Ubuntu is going to be prepared to deviate from upstream just to fix this.) Perhaps a patch to the GNOME HIG policy should be proposed as well?

My concrete problem is that the front panel mic input doesn't seem to work.

This may seem like a feeble accomplishment, but I managed to find out what AT-SPI means, and so might be able to figure out what AT-SPI Registry Wrapper means. According to http://accessibility.kde.org/developer/atk.php#coreclasses AT-SPI is Assistive Technology Service Provider Interface and there are also descriptions of the architecture etc. Funny that an accessibility / usability component would make the mistake of having a name which is completely undecipherable to the uninitiated, and no description (as of 8.10). /usr/lib/gnome-session/helpers/at-spi-registryd-wrapper and the corresponding /usr/share/gnome/autostart/at-spi-registryd- wrapper.desktop are in the gnome-session package, so marking as New for gnome-session (or should I Be Bold and mark as Confirmed?) My proposed fix would be to add the English description Framework for applications to interact with assistive technologies.

There's a bunch of weird things in Startup Programs in Session Preferences in Intrepid. Should I post them here, or create a new bug? This bug report is rather unwieldy as it is, so perhaps it would be better to create a new one for Intrepid. I never got a reply, so at least I'm enumerating here what I think is wrong. (Format is Name[en] - Description[en] - my comments.) AT SPI Registry Wrapper - No description - noted above Bluetooth Manager - Bluetooth Manager applet - package bluez-gnome, adding New The description is completely redundant after you remove applet which as noted elsewhere in this bug report is not recommended. Please describe what it does for the user. Suggest Enable wireless connections to Bluetooth devices such as mobile phones or some such. (Too long, admittedly, but then maybe the UI should be changed to accommodate longer descriptions.) Evolution Alarm Notifier - Evolution Alarm Notifier - noted above GNOME Keyring Daemon Wrapper - No description - package gnome- session, should have a description. Allow applications to access the keyring perhaps? GNOME Login Sound - No description - I guess we can live with this :-) Or should it say Boing bling thud ksh? GNOME Settings Daemon - No description - package gnome-settings- daemon, adding New. Manage your GNOME session's settings maybe? GNOME Settings Daemon Helper - No description - now this I think has a more fundamental problem. Are there situations where you would want to run the helper but not the daemon itself, or vice versa? Should that be expressed as a preference in the daemon's settings somewhere instead then? IMHO this is exposing an implementation boundary which should not be exposed to the user. GNOME Splash Screen - No description - gnome-session. As with the sound above I guess, not really crucial to describe.
