Patch from Gnome git commit to fix problem with stickynotes 2.28.0 crashing

Description Clemmitt M. Sigler 2009-10-22 01:08:58 UTC
Under gnome-base/gnome-applets-2.28.0, the Sticky Notes applet that can be added to the Gnome Panel crashes with a "Quit Unexpectedly -- Reload/Don't Reload" error dialog box when creating a new note.  This is fixed by the patch given in this git commit:

http://git.gnome.org/cgit/gnome-applets/commit/?h=gnome-2-28&id=26488f7c397fd3e41c7c64eaf2b14b577605e97e

I took only that patch and used it to make my own ebuild of gnome-applets, which I installed.  Now Sticky Notes Works For Me :^)

I'll attach my ebuild and the patch I used.  HTH.

Clemmitt


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Emerge gnome-base/gnome-applets-2.28.0 along with the Gnome desktop environment.
2. Add the Sticky Notes applet to the Gnome panel.
3. Right-click the Sticky Notes icon and select New Note.
4. Applet crashes with "Quit Unexpectedly -- Reload/Don't Reload" error dialog box.

Updated ebuild to emerge patched gnome-base/gnome-applets-2.28.0

This is the updated ebuild I created to emerge my own gnome-applets-2.28.0-r0 which only adds the patch I reference in this bug report.
