RHBA-2012:0202 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated sabayon packages that fix three bugs are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

Sabayon is a tool to help system administrators and users change and maintain
the default behaviour of the GNOME desktop. These packages contain the graphical
tools which a system administrator uses to manage Sabayon profiles.

This update fixes the following bugs:

• Prior to this update, several GConf directories were listed in the list of

folders to ignore. As a consequence, changes in the Mandatory GConf settings
were not saved. This update removes these entries from the list. Now, all
changes are saved as expected. (BZ#505402)

• Prior to this update, Sabayon terminated unexpectedly while attempting to save

the profile if the user created a file or a directory on the desktop that
contained an apostrophe in the name. With this update, any apostrophe characters
in the name are now escaped so that Sabayon no longer terminates and correctly
saves the profile. (BZ#654569)

• Prior to this update, the .config and .local directories were wrongly listed

in the list of ignored directories. As a consequence, some settings could be
lost. This update removes these entries from the list. Now, the configuration is
saved correctly. (BZ#660620)

All sabayon users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
these bugs.
