dateMenu: Hide "Open Calendar" item if calendar unavailable (2.82 KB, patch)
2012-10-12 19:05 UTC, Florian Müllner 		committed Details | Review

Description Matthias Clasen 2012-10-12 18:46:20 UTC 
With the calendar widget accessible through clicking on the panel clock, there is a 'Open Calendar' button, that spawns this notification: "Execution of 'evolution -c calendar' failed: Command not found" when evolution is not installed.

At the very least, we should present a user friendly message.
It would be nicer to not show the 'Open Calendar' item in the first place if it is not going to work.

dateMenu: Hide "Open Calendar" item if calendar unavailable

The configured calendar application might not actually be installed.
Instead of failing with an error message, hide the menu item altogether
in this case.
