gnome-appearance-properties doesn't resize the notebook widget

[Marius Gedminas]

Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

You can resize the gnome-appearance-properties dialog, but the tabbed notebook doesn't expand vertically. I'll attach a screenshot shortly.

Thanks for your report, confirmed in Gutsy.

Could be this caused because of the recent changes to the appearance capplet?

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

not an upstream task, this is not reproducible with gnome-control-center without the ubuntu patches.

[xtknight (xt-knight)]

The package in question is capplets-data. The bug was introduced starting in capplets-data 1:2.20.0-0ubuntu3.

If you have cache of capplets-data packages you can verify this.

$ cp /var/cache/apt/archives/capplets-data_1%3a2.20.0-0ubunt* .
$ sudo dpkg -i ...-ubuntu1
test
$ sudo dpkg -i ...-ubuntu2
test
etc..

This should fix the issue.

Can someone take a look at this patch?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Thanks for your work, there is already a 2.20.0.1 update with an updated patch which doesn't do other changes than the new tab which will be uploaded tomorrow and will fix this issue
