GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 534413
"About this Computer" item for System menu
Last modified: 2012-01-17 16:43:37 UTC
Fedora has an "About this Computer" item in its system menu. This depends on the patch from bug #522988 (which has been integrated into gnome-system-monitor). These other pieces go into gnome-panel: 1) about-this-computer.desktop, which contains the menu item and translations, and 2) a patch to add the above menu item to the System menu. Those pieces will be attached.
Created attachment 111365 [details] [review] about-this-computer.patch (originally applied to gnome-panel-2.21.92)
Created attachment 111366 [details] about-this-computer.desktop Contains 34 translations
(In reply to comment #2) > Created an attachment (id=111366) [edit] > about-this-computer.desktop > > Contains 34 translations Problem is you need to find a way to insert all that data in the .po files instead for the patch to be usable straight away. I wouldn't worry too much about adding the translations though, as most translators prefer doing all their own translations to avoid style changes.
Actually - maybe about-this-computer.desktop should remain in gnome-system-monitor. It's calling gnome-system-monitor so if you don't have that installed you aren't going to be able to use this menu item anyway. As for the translations, I can put together a patch that adds the string(s) to the .po files.. but first I need to know which component it should go in. Thoughts?
Following an IRC discussion with hadess, the .desktop file will be integrated into gnome-system-monitor. That patch is in bug 534538.
Marking the patch as "needs-work" as there's no panel_has_desktop_file () function (googling around it seems that it's a function used in Fedora RMPs), and it seems that we wouldn't need it anyway.
This doesn't seem relevant any longer. Can we close it?
