  Subject: deskbar-applet: Cannot Activate Web History / Web Searches
  Date: Thu, 20 Apr 2006 10:52:39 -0400

  Package: deskbar-applet
  Version: 2.14.1.1-1
  Severity: normal


  Hi,

  With the latest version, I'm unable to activate the Web History and Web
  Searches. Clicking on them is ignored. The rest works fine.

  Thanks,
  Carlos

The output of /usr/lib/deskbar-applet/deskbar-applet -w yields in part:

  [...]
  Initializing Web Bookmarks

  Error retreiving Mozilla Bookmarks: No option 'Default' in section: 'General'
  [...]
  Initializing Web Searches

  Error while initializing Web Searches: No option 'Default' in section: 'General'
