it's worthwile enough if one considers that without a proper fix here, those applications are just completely broken and not usable at all on default debian desktop live systems. depending on how important you feel that debian does ship live systems, this is a showstopper for it. [ of course, rather than fixing it in debian itself, we could do some hacks and sed all desktop files on live systems built time, and add a hook to dpkg locally, so that packages that are installed on runtime get fixed too. but that just sucks, amongst others also because we would not be shipping unmodified debian anymore (which is the main intention of debian-live). ] -- Address: Daniel Baumann, Burgunderstrasse 3, CH-4562 Biberist Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Internet: http://people.panthera-systems.net/~daniel-baumann/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
