Description Maxim Kammerer 2012-06-16 11:37:57 UTC

For USE=-gtk, /usr/share/applications/xinput_calibrator.desktop contains:

  Exec=/bin/sh -c "xinput_calibrator; cat"

The reason for "cat" is that xinput_calibrator prints vital information on standard output upon termination. At least on LXPanel + Openbox setup, this results in "Cannot parse command line arguments" message. The problem is with the quotes; suggest replacing the line with (working with LXPanel):

  Exec=sh -c xinput_calibrator;read\ x

Using "read" instead of "cat" here so that the user can just it Enter instead of closing the window (or non-intuitive Ctrl-D). An argument to "read" is required in dash.

Another option would be a wrapper script.

    x11-apps/xinput_calibrator: Port to EAPI 7
    
    And drop IUSE=gtk since it depends on gtkmm:2.4.
