Don't offer a help button... it does not work anyway. (2.29 KB, patch)

Description Balló György 2012-06-02 13:15:11 UTC 
There is a Help button in the left bottom corner on Alacarte UI. If the user clicks on it, it tries to open a document that was in GNOME 2 User docs, but it's no longer available in GNOME 3, and the user get the following error in Yelp:

„Document Not Found
The URI ‘ghelp:user-guide?menu-editor#menu-editor’ does not point to a valid page.
Search for packages containing this document.”

Please include the used help documentation in Alacarte package, or remove the Help button from the UI.
Comment 1 André Klapper 2012-06-02 13:40:55 UTC 
./Alacarte/MainWindow.py:        Gtk.show_uri(Gdk.Screen.get_default(), "ghelp:user-guide#menu-editor", Gtk.get_current_event_time())

but I don't see how alacarte is relevant in default GNOME3 (not: Fallback mode) so probably better to remove it.
Comment 2 Dominique Leuenberger 2012-09-06 15:22:36 UTC 
Alacarte is 'usable' in gnome 3 for users to 'disable' visibility of apps without having to 'mess' with .desktop files for example.

Of course, the 'folder' structure which alacarte offers is not represented in the shell... yet, better not offer help if there is none.
