RHBA-2012:0935 - gnome-power-manager bug fix update
Synopsis
gnome-power-manager bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory (none)
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 UPower displaying icons and handling user callbacks in an interactive GNOME session.
This update fixes the following bug:
- 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#676866)
All users of gnome-power-manager are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
Solution
