GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 614701
clicking on headline in blam opens up nautilus rather than using webkit
Last modified: 2010-06-07 00:19:58 UTC
When compiled with the new webkit support in Fedora, for some reason blam wants to open up the full articlee in nautilus after clicking on a headline rather than render inline with webkit. See downstream Fedora bug for more details: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=575583#c14 I'm guessing that this could be a compatibility problem with more recent mono version, these are some of the relevant packages and versions that blam is compiled against: $ rpm -q mono-web mono-core webkitgtk webkit-sharp mono-web-2.4.3.1-1.fc12.x86_64 mono-core-2.4.3.1-1.fc12.x86_64 webkitgtk-1.1.15.4-1.fc12.x86_64 webkit-sharp-0.2-6.fc12.x86_64
This happens because blam gets confused about what WebKit is trying to do when asked to open a file. This was fixed by commit 4a5c831d181661640c3421685997da1349c36946 (which was in 2009, but I haven't done a release as I haven't had much time this school year)

So should I backport that patch to 1.8.7, or are you in the process of making a new release? Either way I need to do something soon as the package currently in Fedora is completely broken.
There should be a new release in the next two weeks, but I don't know yet how long it's going to take. I think you should backport the fix, as otherwise it's unusable
