Package: mate-desktop-environment
Version: 1.6.0.2+8.jessie
Severity: minor
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
I have a small shell script to which I attempt to assign a hotkey in MATE's
'Keyboard Shortcuts' dialog.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Assigned the script under 'Custom Shortcuts' in the aforementioned dialog to
Primary-Shift-N, and tried to run the script.
* What was the outcome of this action?
Alert window popped up with the following message:
"Error while trying to run (gnome-terminal -e sh /home/me/my-script.sh)
which is linked to the key (<Primary><Shift>n)"
* What outcome did you expect instead?
I had expected the script to work, as it works when invoked from terminal, from
a file-manager window, or via Gnome Do.
If I were expecting an error message, I would instead have expected one
pertaining to a specific error, not just informing me that there was one. Since
it's not always possible to receive a specific error message or code in all
possible situations, I feel that the alert window should inform users as to the
location of an error log to check.
Thanks for all you do, and I hope this is helpful.
