RHBA-2011:1229 - xdg-utils bug fix update

Synopsis

xdg-utils bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated xdg-utils package that fixes two bugs is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The xdg-utils package is a set of simple scripts that provide basic desktop integration functions for any Free Desktop.

This update fixes the following bugs:

• Previously, a trailing comma was passed in the "thunderbird" command. As a result, Thunderbird was unable to open a compose window. With this update, the trailing comma has been stripped so that Thunderbird now works properly. (BZ#659782)

• Previously, there was a typo found in the xdg-utils source code. As a consequence, Thunderbird, after passing in an email address, created a compose window without the "To:" address. With this update, the typo has been fixed so that the "To:" address is now passed in correctly. (BZ#659786)

All xdg-utils users are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes these bugs.
