Description romain.gallet 2006-09-09 18:19:44 UTC 
Distribution: Slackware Slackware 11.0.0
Package: deskbar-applet
Severity: Normal
Version: GNOME2.14.3 unspecified
Gnome-Distributor: FRG gsb.sourceforge.net build for slackware
Synopsis: thunderbird support
Bugzilla-Product: deskbar-applet
Bugzilla-Component: general
Bugzilla-Version: unspecified
Description:
Description of Problem:

When the deskbar-applet finds an email relevant to the search query,
clicking on it just does not work since it tries to open evolution in
place on thunderbird. Evolution is there but not used so really the
emails are from the thunderbird folders. Can't find any config param to
fix it. Tried linking evolution to thunderbird bin but to no avail.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. search query that matches some email
2. click on itfrom the window
3. admire bug-buddy ;-)

Actual Results:

debug window appears after bug-buddy saying evolution is not there. It
looks up for "evolution" but the bin here is called "evolution-2.6".

Expected Results:

To open thunderbird on the right email

How often does this happen?

Not sure how we should fix that. Thunderburd isn't really in GNOME. I think someone should step up with a thunderbbird handler.
