RHBA-2012:0686 - gnome-power-manager bug fix update

Synopsis

gnome-power-manager bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated gnome-power-manager packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

GNOME Power Manager uses the information and facilities provided by DeviceKit-power to display icons and handle user callbacks in an interactive GNOME session.

  • After resuming the system or re-enabling the display, an icon could appear in the notification area with an erroneous tooltip that read "Session active, not inhibited, screen idle. If you see this test, your display server is broken and you should notify your distributor." and included a URL to an external web page. This error message was incorrect, had no effect on the system and could be safely ignored. In addition, linking to an external URL from the notification and status area is unwanted. To prevent this, the icon is no longer used for debugging idle problems. (BZ#800267)

All users are advised to upgrade to these updated gnome-power-manager packages, which fix this bug.
