I first upgraded several months ago when perlpanel-0.9.1-r1 went stable, but after restarting perlpanel an error window popped up for every launcher icon I had. I deleted all the icons, but couldn't add new ones, so I masked that version and went back to 0.9.0. I forgot about till yesterday, so tried again, same problem with the error message when trying to add a new launcher: Can't locate object method "new" via package "PerlPanel::Applet::Launcher" at (eval) line 1. The previous error message was longer and dealt with the DesktopEntry.pm. Below is the message from my .xsession-errors file; (perlpanel:4493): Wnck-CRITICAL **: wnck_screen_get_windows: assertion `WNCK_IS_SCREEN (screen)' failed (perlpanel:4493): Wnck-CRITICAL **: wnck_screen_get_active_window: assertion `WNCK_IS_SCREEN (screen)' failed Can't locate X11/FreeDesktop/DesktopEntry.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perlpanel /etc/perl /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.7/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.7 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.7/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.7 /usr/local/lib/site_perl . /home/stevea/.perlpanel/applets /usr/lib/perlpanel/PerlPanel/Applet) at /usr/lib/perlpanel/PerlPanel/DesktopEntry.pm line 23.

I couldn't find any bugs reported on this, but it appears to be related to the masked X11-Freedesktop-DesktopEntry package, must be a dependency or something. I was able to add one of the preconfigured icons, xmms, but I use the launchers for variuos apps, so without them perlpanel is useless to me.

x86, ppc - please test and mark stable (though ppc may need to revert to ~ppc for perlpanel) dev-perl/X11-FreeDesktop-DesktopEntry. It's a missing dependency of perlpanel (I updated the cvs notes for this on savannah for the project home fwiw).

dev-perl/X11-FreeDesktop-DesktopEntry added to ~ppc. I kept perlpanel-0.9.1-r1 as ppc stable, as you haven't added the dep yet. If you're going to add the dep revert the ppc keyword and add as for stabling both perlpanel and X11-FreeDesktop-DesktopEntry once the 30 days period is over.
x86 done, thanks for testing David.
(In reply to comment #4) > x86 done, thanks for testing David. > I tried to reinstall perlpanel shortly after I was notified it was done for x86. At that time the dev-perl/X11-FreeDesktop-DesktopEntry was not pulled in as a dependency and consequently I received the same errors as when I first reported the bug. So I installed the X11-Freedesktop pkg and then everything was OK. I noticed the mention of a 30 days period, but the X11-FreeDesktop-DesktopEntry is still not a dependency of perlpanel. Should it not be? Steven Altermatt
slipped through the cracks when i was waiting for dev-perl/X11-FreeDesktop-DesktopEntry to get keyworded - all fixed!

this appears to just be stuck in limbo (everything's been keyworded near as i can tell). closing.
