gnome-control-center doesn't display html elements

[Vicente Ruiz]

Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

When I search a task and it doesn't exist, gnome-control-center shows a message, but html elements in this message are not displayed. I attached an image for more info

it's a libslab issue which has been reported to GNOME too

Created an attachment (id=327998)
Screenshot showing HTML tags in message.

OpenSUSE 11.2 x86_32

Installed adding a few packages like GCC, KDE libraries, and using Gnome as the default environment.

Attaching screenshot from my VM showing the message with '<b>' tags in the message that results from looking for an invalid application.

Nice catch. I can reproduce it here as well (gnome-control-center-2.28.0-5.1 (Factory, but package did not change since oSS 11.2 release).

Workaround: don't type stuff that does not exist :) (*kidding*)

libslab is the module that powers all those programs (or is it gnome-main-menu?). Not surpringly therefor, application-browser also exhibits the bug.

Fixed in 11.3.

We need https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=612417 to be fixed.

[Daniël van Eeden (dveeden)]

I've fixed this issue by building agains libslab 2.30.0.

To fix this bug here this could be done:
1. Upgrade libslab0a from 2.27.91-3 to 2.30.0 (or add as a new pkg)
2. Add build depends to gnome-control-center for libslab-dev

Or backport the libslab fix to the libslab version included in gnome-control-center.

This is the fix for this issue:

Thank you for your work there. I will upload the fix to maverick now, the change can be backported to lucid in one of the next stable update as well then
