Description Frederic Peters 2011-03-28 11:06:19 UTC
A timeout in a required component makes the fail whale dialog appear, but if the component doesn't exist (wrong Exec line in the .desktop file, or if it fails with an error code (be it by itself or caused by a segfault), nothing happens and I get to stare at my stripes background forever.
