Description mathesis 2006-05-30 23:15:24 UTC

Version:           0.11.1 and 0.11.92 (0.12 beta 1) (using KDE KDE 3.5.2)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

Title of the main window is replaced by %c
I'm an Ubuntu user (Dapper Drake 6.06 up to date).
I encounter this trouble only since I've installed
Dapper Drake). I've just installed Kopete 0.11.92 (0.12
beta 1) and it doesn't resolve the trouble.

Bug :
The title of the main window must be « Kopete » but it
is replaced by %c (often (always ?) after a reboot). I can
temporarely fix it by reinstalling kopete. Very
annoying since it happens everyday.

I can reproduce.

How to you launch Kopete ?

from a shortcut ? from command line ?
check if there is not something wrong in the shortcut

Comment 2 mathesis 2006-06-07 22:25:45 UTC

I'm using GNOME
System > Preferences > Sessions
Starting Programs tab, command : kopete -caption %c %i %m %u 

I've just compared it to the command in the GNOME's Menu (from where I took the command I put in the Starting Programs tab), and it's _now_ different : kopete -caption "%c" %i %m %u, %c have been replaced by "%c" !
I think there were changes between the unstable and the final release.

I try the new command and give some news as soon as possible.

This is a packaging bug.
Please report to ubuntu

Comment 4 mathesis 2006-06-07 23:18:18 UTC

The package is OK (final release) but my copy-paste wasn't.
Thank you.

Comment 5 mathesis 2006-06-08 00:35:28 UTC

Finally, I still have the problem but I think the bug is in Gnome :
A command line of a "Starting Program" item can't have a ". In fact when you type a " in a command line, it disappears when you click on OK.

Comment 6 Olivier Goffart 2006-06-08 00:42:33 UTC

theses options are just useless.
use simply "kopete" and it will work better

Comment 7 Bartosz Fabianowski 2006-06-08 00:45:25 UTC

To work around the bug in GNOME, maybe you could try using single quotes, was in:

kopete -caption '%c' %i %m %u, %c
