Hi guys. I came here BTWof the author of a linkifyer extension for thunderbird. I must say I'm a bit afraid by what I read in this discussions. - '+' IS a legal character for files in unix. - svn+ssh: IS an extremely important url for developpers (+ forges often go with mailing-lists). - I might be naive, but this bug sounds to me as the classical forgetting to protect a string by "" despites it might possibly contains spaces or special characters (important for FS pathes as well as plenty other kinds of strings). - It seems unreasonable to me to decide that the problem will end with the new UbuntuLTS: - gnome3 has plainty of problems and bugs, and it is likely that "real computer" (ie, not tablets) user will replace it by anything else, eg, gnome2. - existing code might still be used under 12.04LTS (some people in CS, research and engineering do have to ensure backward compatibility, sometimes even for binaries). - I guess many people will stuck with 10.04LTS even after march.
As I understand it from this discussion, there are 2 identified bugs: one in gnome2 (the probably forgoten "") which must be fixed by this community, and one in thunderbird (about the popup - or before thunderbird, about the error status) for which the thunderbird community just have to release a built using --disable-gio . Any of the 2 solutions is sufficient to fix the problem, even if it would be better to fix both. -> could you please do this thunderbird release, and forward the gnome bug to the gnome community ? thanks.
