Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kcontrol

I've recently upgraded my system to Edgy.  Kcontrol no longer has a
component chooser applet.

The file /usr/share/applications/kde/componentchooser.desktop (installed
as part of the kcontrol package) does exist and starts like this:


[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Exec=kcmshell componentchooser
Icon=misc
Type=Application


X-KDE-Library=componentchooser

X-KDE-ParentApp=kcontrol

Name=Component Chooser
Name[af]=Komponent Kieser


There's also a likely looking directory:


[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/share/apps/kcm_componentchooser$ ls -l
total 88
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14533 2006-10-11 15:14 kcm_browser.desktop
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  8947 2006-10-23 14:31 kcm_instantmessenger.desktop
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17716 2006-10-11 15:14 kcm_kemail.desktop
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 19989 2006-10-23 14:31 kcm_ktexteditor.desktop
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17874 2006-10-11 15:14 kcm_terminal.desktop
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/share/apps/kcm_componentchooser$


(BTW, 2006-10-11 is before the date when I upgraded to Edgy.  I don't know 
whether that's relevant.)

However, the component chooser doesn't show up in kcontrol.  If you care
to look here <http://www.mnslaker.f9.co.uk/kcontrol/> you'll see two
screenshots: one of kcontrol without the component chooser, and the
other showing the almost empty dialogue box that appears if I type
'kcmshell componentchooser'.
