Description Andreas Klostermann 2005-01-16 04:50:08 UTC 
Steps to reproduce:
1. python gnome-blog-poster or running it another way

Symptom: "poster" variable referenced before assigned.
Solution: move critical code (the if block checking for a config key) below
where poster is assigned)

Me wonders why this should work on any system the way I downloaded it *sigh*

Same here.
I run fedora rawhide and get this:
[richard@ ~]$ rpm -q gnome-blog
gnome-blog-0.8-1
[richard@ ~]$ gnome-blog-poster

Hi, I have the same symptom running Slackware 10.1, python-2.4, pyorbit-2.0.1, pygtk-2.6.0 and 
gnome-python-2.10.0

FYI, I ran into the same behavior in 0.8 on Gentoo.

Workaround: 
1) Install 0.7
2) Start app and enter preferences
3) Upgrade to 0.8

Seems this has been fixed in CVS and is released together with 0.9.

0.9 has other problems: it doesn't work with the gnome python 2.10 bindings.

Jan de Groot: Please limit to one problem per bugreport. That is also reported
in bug 172579.

This bug is a dupe of bug 163795, fixed in CVS and 0.9.
