Bug 88123 – pyxdg version .9 causes starterbar to not work properly

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Adam Bowers 2005-04-05 21:30:46 UTC]

I'm not sure if this goes in pyxdg or here, so I appologize if I guessed wrong.

Upgrading to version .9 of pyxdg causes the starterbar to cease functioning properly.  New shortcuts cannot be added to the bar and existing ones disapear.  Also, the bar shrinks to about 5 pixels in size.  Reverting to pyxdg fixes the problem.

Forgot to mention that I did run the python update script.

Yep, pyxdg 0.8 is the only version that will work with the current StarterBar.  We'll fix it soon, thanks for the report!

[Comment 3 Bjoern Koch 2005-04-14 08:02:48 UTC]

There is a new starterbar-ebuild at bug 78089. The new version (0.31.3) of starterbar includes pyxdg 0.8 and it's working fine here...

[Comment 4 Joe Sapp (RETIRED) 2005-04-14 08:47:37 UTC]

It would be better if things like PyXDG and desklets stay seperated.  The new release doesn't do anything new but include PyXDG.  Since there's already an ebuild for it, I don't see the point in changing the starterbar one.  If it's this dependency that's a concern for you, it won't be too long before the next version of starterbar (since the current version is already deprecated), which doesn't depend on anything other than gdesklets.

Fixup now in portage.
