The panel applet gnome-extra/deskbar-applet-2.16 does not provide the search plugins of the firefox browser in its action list anymore, after mozilla-firefox has been updated to www-client/mozilla-firefox-2.0. Re-emerging deskbar-applet did not help. Probably some incompatible interface?
This seems to be a result of the change to the new opensearch plugin-standard in Firefox 2.0. The deskbar people are on the way to implement that... http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=348209

People from the deskbar team have updated the deskbar, at least in the CVS. I have added an ebuild and a patch for those who (like me) want to recover this feature. Thanks to masterdriverz for all the help!
any update here ? did this hit portage ?
(In reply to comment #5) > any update here ? did this hit portage ? > The fix is in upstream since version 2.17.5. The version in portage with the fix is currently 2.18.1.
So I think we can consider this fixed :)
