Closing configuration wizard

[Torsten Spindler]

After closing the configuration wizard by clicking on the X on the upper right window border the background image is displayed. For a better user experience either the system or the wizard should be restarted.

This is an easy way for a user to screw up their system during initial configuration. As such, it seems worth clearing it up for Ubuntu 8.04.1. The patch is a one-liner, and is attached.

This is fixed in oem-config 1.38 in intrepid.

This seems like something that's likely to happen by accident, resulting in a very poor user experience; I think it's worth fixing for 8.04.1.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package oem-config - 1.38

---------------
oem-config (1.38) intrepid; urgency=low

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Silence deprecation warning in zoommap.
  * Internationalise .desktop files (LP: #233949).
  * Don't fail to set the locale if the mirror/country question doesn't
    exist.
  * Disable support for console-setup preseeding again, as it interferes
    with the more important goal of inferring a default keyboard from the
    selected locale (LP: #219209).
  * Automatic update of included source packages: tzsetup 1:0.21.

  [ Evan Dandrea ]
  * Disable the close button (LP: #190234).

Accepted into -proposed, please test and give feedback here

[Henrik Nilsen Omma (henrik)]

I've tested this and can confirm the fix. I did the following:

 * Booted a Hardy Live CD (in vbox), installed and launched oem-config and confirmed that I could close it in mid-pre-install causing badness

 * Enabled proposed, updated oem-config (and ubiquity for good measure)

 * Launched sudo oem-config from the terminal and confirmed that the close X button is no longer available

 * Continued with the rest of oem-config (which cowardly refused to update the initfamfs on my live CD :)

I'm slightly confused by the fact that the changelog refers to oem-config 1.38 but proposed only has 1.37.2
