Comment 13 for bug 773979

Well... sad news... unity 2d does not respect the whitelisting. Bug #847525 reports fix committed, but it does not seem to be fully delivered in actual packages. Or maybe the whitelisting works with 'all', but not with the application names. Or maybe it wants a completely different whitelisting than the one that works for unity... who knows... all this stuff seems to be completely undocumented.

And still I really wonder why running common stuff like skype, wuala, parcellite, jitsi, (I could easily enlarge the list) that is declared linux-friendly needs to be such a pain. I cannot believe it takes me less time to set up a ppa with a driver to talk to an unsupported photo printer such as the SPP2040 than to run jitsi in unity2d. Cheers to the user experience.

Why cannot unity people understand that for an ubuntu user getting girlfriend/friends/relatives upset because they cannot run wuala and annoyed at the fact that you do not want to use computers in a 'sane way that just works' is a stressing experience? ;-)
