The wallpaper-tray application is broken in many places

[Dullin]

I was trying to find an application that would automaticly switch wallpapers at a given interval and this one seemed like it would do a good job.

Unfortunatly, much of the application is broken. It starts okay but it's menu item is badly placed (it makes a new application menu in the Applications menu) Once it started I was able to enter it properties settings but most buttons didn't seem to work. The close button didn't work and I had to quit with the "x" button and the "add" button to add paths to image folder was also not working wich leads to the application not working at all.

I can verify this.
when running we get libglade warnings when opening the configuration dialog as follows...
(wallpaper-tray:7949): libglade-WARNING **: could not find signal handler 'on_button_close_pressed'.

(wallpaper-tray:7949): libglade-WARNING **: could not find signal handler 'on_button_apply_pressed'.

(wallpaper-tray:7949): libglade-WARNING **: could not find signal handler 'on_button_add_dir_pressed'.

(wallpaper-tray:7949): libglade-WARNING **: could not find signal handler 'on_button_rem_dir_pressed'.

This explains why the buttons don't work, however as this is the main configuration dialog, I fail to see how this whole application can be regarded as working.

Thanks for your bug report. At a guess this is due to updates in the glade libraries being unsupported by the application. There's a bug in the Debian bugtracker about packaging the newest version of wallpaper-tray which might fix it so I'll add that bug as an upstream watch.

Couldn't add the Debian bug as an upstream bug watch (package not found) so here's the link:

I can't reproduce this bug in feisty. It seems to work fine.

[Adrien Cunin (adri2000)]

Actually it's Debian #382784 and it seems to be fixed.
Can someone on feisty confirm that it is now fixed?

[Andy Price (andy-price)]

Looks fixed to me. Setting to Fix Released. Thanks all.
