GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 697301
'Open Clocks' shows even when gnome-clocks isn't installed
Last modified: 2013-05-16 21:50:47 UTC
Ubuntu GNOME 13.04 with GNOME Shell 3.8.0.1 According to https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-shell/commit/?id=5e5798 the 'Open Clocks' menu item in the clock menu in the top bar is only supposed to show if gnome-clocks is installed. However it always shops up. (Personally, I'm hesitant to install gnome-clocks by default in Ubuntu GNOME until bug 689082 is fixed.)
The Clocks menu item, does get hidden after the 'installed-changed' signal fires. Perhaps AppSystem is just not ready when dateMenu first loads?
We see the same problem on Gentoo: button is shown even when gnome-clocks is not installed
For what it's worth I just decided to make gnome-clocks mandatory.
Do you have any idea about why is currently failing to drop the entry when it's not available? Workarounding it making the dependency a hard requirement looks overkill to me :/
I'm no longer able to duplicate this bug with gnome-shell 3.8.2 and gnome-clocks not installed. I'm going to mark this a duplicate of bug 697725 which I think fixed this issue. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 697725 ***
