The gnome-swallow applet doesn't have an amd64 keyword of any type, but I tried it anyway by adding the key myself. The build works just fine. When I try to use it (by selecting "Add to Panel" from a panel context menu), it pops up its window that asks you to enter the command to swallow. I enter an old applet (I tried wmgtemp and wmnet) and hit ok (I don't enter in a "window name to swallow"), and it launches the applet, but then gnome informs me that gnome-swallow as crashed (unexpectedly quit is what it says). The launched applet that it would have swallow stick around, unswallowed. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Nothing special. I already described the steps I took in the details section. Actual Results: The gnome-swallow applet crashes and doesn't do its job Expected Results: Not crash. It should swallow the applet and make it appear in the gnome panel Rather than blindly add info, I'd hope someone can easily recreate this on another amd64 system. Note that I can run this on my Athlon box just fine. I suspect it isn't a problem specific to me since it doesn't seem anyone has done much with this package on amd64 since it lacks even a -amd64 or ~amd64 If others can't repro this on amd64, I'd be happy to provide a full run down of my system config. Just email me.
This package isn't marked amd64, so this is really a test/report.
sorry, we really have to focus on bugs in already keyworded packages, so we won't fix it. however, if you can provide a patch that makes gnome-swallow working, i'll happily apply it and add the amd64 keyword
