RHBA-2011:0535 - glib2 bug fix update
Synopsis
glib2 bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
Updated glib2 packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
GLib is a low-level core library that forms the basis for projects such as GTK+ and GNOME. It provides data structure handling for C, portability wrappers, and interfaces for such runtime functionality as an event loop, threads, dynamic loading, and an object system.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Previously, snapshots from the Network File System (NFS) mounted home directories located on Network Appliance (NetApp) filers were treated as real mounts and were displayed on the desktop. Due to this behavior, users could not hide or unmount these items. By default, the GNOME desktop treated all mounts under user home directories as custom and put their icons on the desktop. This update follows common practice and hides mounts with path elements that start with a dot. (BZ#648498)
All users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
Solution
