Package: gnome-shell Version: 3.14.1-2 Severity: normal Control: affects -1 xscreensaver-data
xscreensaver-data includes a bunch of "hacks" -- things that can be run when xscreensaver is invoked. I understand that xscreensaver is not normally the screensaver of choice when running GNOME, but it's certainly possible to have it co-installed. however, each xscreensaver "hack" is showing up as an individual icon when i browse all applications in gnome-shell (that is: click the grid of 9 dots with the tooltip "Show Applications", and then select "All" from the bottom selector). A naive user might want to see what this application "Fiberlamp" is, or "FuzzyFlakes". But most of these programs don't do anything when invoked via the Applications browser. even worse, some of them may actualy take effect but they have no UI available, so they can't be dealt with properly by the user. At best, these icons are a distraction to the user, at worst they cause active usability problems. gnome-shell should filter them out of the Applications browsing. Alternately, xscreensaver-data should ship them in such a way that gnome-shell knows to ignore them. Maybe the package maintainers need to coordinate? Thanks for maintaining gnome-shell and xscreensaver in debian. --dkg -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.17-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages gnome-shell depends on: ii dconf-gsettings-backend [gsettings-backend] 0.22.0-1 ii evolution-data-server 3.12.9~git20141128.5242b0-2 ii gir1.2-accountsservice-1.0 0.6.37-3+b1 ii gir1.2-atspi-2.0 2.14.0-1 ii gir1.2-caribou-1.0 0.4.15-1 ii gir1.2-clutter-1.0 1.20.0-1 ii gir1.2-freedesktop 1.42.0-2.2 ii gir1.2-gcr-3 3.14.0-2 ii gir1.2-gdesktopenums-3.0 3.14.1-1 ii gir1.2-gdm3 3.14.1-3 ii gir1.2-gkbd-3.0 3.6.0-1 ii gir1.2-glib-2.0 1.42.0-2.2 ii gir1.2-gnomebluetooth-1.0 3.14.0-2 ii gir1.2-gnomedesktop-3.0 3.14.1-1 ii gir1.2-gtk-3.0 3.14.5-1 ii gir1.2-ibus-1.0 1.5.9-1 ii gir1.2-mutter-3.0 3.14.2-1 ii gir1.2-networkmanager-1.0 0.9.10.0-3 ii gir1.2-nmgtk-1.0 0.9.10.0-2 ii gir1.2-pango-1.0 1.36.8-3 ii gir1.2-polkit-1.0 0.105-8 ii gir1.2-soup-2.4 2.48.0-1 ii gir1.2-telepathyglib-0.12 0.24.1-1 ii gir1.2-telepathylogger-0.2 0.8.1-1 ii gir1.2-upowerglib-1.0 0.99.1-3.1 ii gjs 1.42.0-1 ii gnome-backgrounds 3.14.1-1 ii gnome-icon-theme-symbolic 3.12.0-1 ii gnome-settings-daemon 3.14.2-1 ii gnome-shell-common 3.14.1-2 ii gnome-themes-standard 3.14.2.2-1 ii gsettings-desktop-schemas 3.14.1-1 ii libatk-bridge2.0-0 2.14.0-2 ii libatk1.0-0 2.14.0-1 ii libc6 2.19-13 ii libcairo2 1.14.0-2.1 ii libcanberra-gtk3-0 0.30-2.1 ii libcanberra0 0.30-2.1 ii libclutter-1.0-0 1.20.0-1 ii libcogl-pango20 1.18.2-3 ii libcogl20 1.18.2-3 ii libcroco3 0.6.8-3+b1 ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.102-1 ii libecal-1.2-16 3.12.9~git20141128.5242b0-2 ii libedataserver-1.2-18 3.12.9~git20141128.5242b0-2 ii libgcr-base-3-1 3.14.0-2 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.31.1-2+b1 ii libgirepository-1.0-1 1.42.0-2.2 ii libgjs0e [libgjs0-libmozjs-24-0] 1.42.0-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.42.1-1 ii libgstreamer1.0-0 1.4.4-2 ii libgtk-3-0 3.14.5-1 ii libical1 1.0-1.1 ii libjson-glib-1.0-0 1.0.2-1 ii libmozjs-24-0 24.2.0-2 ii libmutter0e 3.14.2-1 ii libnm-glib4 0.9.10.0-3 ii libnm-util2 0.9.10.0-3 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.36.8-3 ii libpangocairo-1.0-0 1.36.8-3 ii libpolkit-agent-1-0 0.105-8 ii libpolkit-gobject-1-0 0.105-8 ii libpulse-mainloop-glib0 5.0-13 ii libpulse0 5.0-13 ii libsecret-1-0 0.18-1+b1 ii libstartup-notification0 0.12-4 ii libsystemd0 215-7 ii libtelepathy-glib0 0.24.1-1 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.2-3 ii libxfixes3 1:5.0.1-2+b1 ii python 2.7.8-2 ii telepathy-mission-control-5 1:5.16.3-1 Versions of packages gnome-shell recommends: ii gdm3 3.14.1-3 ii gkbd-capplet 3.6.0-1 ii gnome-contacts 3.14.1-1 ii gnome-control-center 1:3.14.2-2 ii gnome-user-guide 3.14.1-1 ii unzip 6.0-12+b1 gnome-shell suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
